Bichette is well aware of his early struggles in New York. His main goal is proving he is worth the contract the Mets signed him to, via Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
“I signed here for three years,” Bichette said. “The opt-outs, any player would love them, to have control of their future, whatever the case might be, where they want to be, if they want to search for something else, I don’t know. But when I signed here, I took it as a three-year deal.”
“Just wanting to be the player that the Mets signed is something that I think about a lot,” he concluded.
Over his first 46 games with the Mets, Bichette is hitting .210 with two home runs, 18 RBIs and a stolen base. It’s a far cry from his seven-year performance with the Toronto Blue Jays , which landed him his $126 million. There, Bichette was a two-time All-Star who hit .294 with 111 home runs, 437 RBIs and 60 stolen bases over 748 games.

The infielder still has time to turn his 2026 campaign around. But if he doesn’t find his footing soon, the boo birds at Citi Field are only going to get louder. They’re already tuning up the band as Bichette has hit .125 with two RBIs over his last seven games.
At the very least though, Bichette is well aware of the expectations placed on his shoulders. He plans to do everything in his power to remind the Mets and MLB world at large just how good he is.
