One of the biggest moves during the previous offseason was Bo Bichette signing with the New York Mets . Fresh off a World Series appearance with the Toronto Blue Jays , the All-Star shortstop decided to sign with a new team. After over seven years in Toronto, Bichette moves on to take on a different challenge.

On Monday, Bichette made his return to Rogers Stadium as a member of the Mets . The Toronto fans welcomed their former star warmly, greeting him with a standing ovation. After the game, Bichette talked about the reaction he got from the crowd in his first game against the Blue Jays.

"It's nice knowing it meant a lot to people, the city meant a lot to me, spent a lot of years here… so felt good." Bichette said after the Mets' loss to the Blue Jays.

Bichette debuted with the Blue Jays in 2019, and he blossomed into one of the best shortstops in the league. Playing a position with many revered players, Bichette became one of the better SSs during his time in Toronto. He's a two-time All-Star and was the hit leader in the American League twice early in his career. He broke out last season, earning his first All-MLB nod for the Jays.

Bichette signed a 3-year, $126 million deal with the Mets this past offseason after his breakout season. In New York, the shortstop was moved to third base with Francisco Lindor as the SS. Bichette is having an okay season (.251 batting average, 10 homers), but it's far from the production that Mets fans were looking for from the star shortstop.

Against his former team, Bichette was quiet. The Mets third baseman did not record a single hit in his four at-bats, continuing his ongoing struggles. The Mets lost 1-2 after the Blue Jays jumped out to a 2-0 lead by the fifth inning. Lindor was responsible for New York's sole run, hitting a homer in the seventh inning in a comeback attempt.
