"The 27-year-old Bichette, who inked a three-year, $126 million deal with the Mets earlier this month, missed the remainder of last season and the first two rounds of the post-season due to a left knee sprain. But he returned during the World Series, delivering a pivotal three-run home run off Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani in Game 7, albeit while moving from shortstop to second base."
"As the two-time All-Star begins the next chapter of his career - after spending nearly a decade with the Blue Jays organization - he'll be learning a new position this spring in his first season with the Mets, who plan to move the middle infielder to third base - a position he's never played professionally. Thus, between last year's injury and learning a new position, New York's brass likely preferred to have Bichette remain in camp throughout the entire spring"
Bo Bichette was slated to represent Team Brazil at the 2026 best-on-best tournament but told the country's coaching staff he no longer plans to play. His mother is Brazilian and he and his brother Dante Jr. previously played together for Team Brazil during the 2017 WBC qualifiers. Bichette signed a three-year, $126 million deal with the New York Mets earlier this month. He missed much of last season with a left knee sprain but returned in the World Series and hit a pivotal three-run homer in Game 7. The Mets plan to move him to third base this spring, and the team preferred him to remain in camp rather than miss multiple weeks of spring training. Brazil now faces a difficult Group B against the United States, Mexico, Italy and Great Britain without its best hitter.
