1. Great move

2. so they could've had Pete for $150M + for 5 years, instead they go for a $126M for 3 years for an inferior hitter, and likely inferior defensive player as he will be yet another player mismatch on the roster trying to learn a new position.

3. SNY on-air personalities need to say the word "pivot" more. At least 50-60 times per episode.

4. I wonder who gets traded for outfield/SP – mauricio, baty?

5. Bichette betterr than tucker!

6. Jays fan here. Bichette was our best hitter in my eyes, but he's not a great fielder and he's almost as slow as Kirk in terms of speed. I think the Mets did well, especially short term, with the only real risk here being health. He fractured a finger in 2024 and missed most of the fall last year from injury

7. Luis Robert for CF

8. This stops the bleeding for now. Let’s see what else the front office does.

9. Clutch hitter we did not have last year⚾️

10. Luis Arraez for 1B/DH

11. Not good enough and over paid the guy. Makes to utilize superstar level capital on a slightly above average player compared to the numbers that Pete Alonso had. Now we have an infield problem.

12. I like Bichette in our lineup honestly better than Tucker — righty to can hit for average (and with RISP) is exactly what we need. So many infielders though. I think I like giving Baty a chance in LF, and I'd love to see Vientos get a chance at 1B — it was only a year ago he looked like the next middle of the order power threat and I'm not ready to give up on him yet.

13. Go trade for Mike trout

14. They need to put Bo @ 2nd and keep Baty @ 3rd and platoon Vientos & Polanco @ 1st.
    Why put Bo at 3rd is baffling.

15. A guy for one year he'll 100 percent opt out for more money.

16. BICHETTE IS 11 HR PER SEASON!!! LMAOOOOOOO

17. STEARNS AND COHEN PAY 43 MILLION PER YEAR TO HIT 11 HR, 62 RUNS, 62 RBI, PER SEASON LMAOOOOOOOOO!!!

18. I love this more than Tucker. We need a right hand bat and spent less money. And he’s clutch which we highly needed last year. Now we need to get Robert for CF and put Benge/Baty in LF. And Vientos/Polanco for 1B/DH. Now sign Framber or get another Ace !

19. Pete has better numbers than tucker

20. Get Cody

21. We should try new defensive strategy, two players at shortstop, leaving third unoccupied.😆⚾️🤣😆⚾️🤣😆⚾️🤣😆⚾️🤣😆⚾️🤣

22. Wanghaf

23. Steal 25 bases ?? lol vladdy is faster than bo

24. He doesn't strike out? He struck out 155 times in one year. I guess he cut down on them last year

25. He will out perform Tucker

26. I see Bichette opting out after year 1 or 2 .

27. He can opt out next year so it's basically a 1 yr deal

28. Now imagine the lineup if they kept Alonso and Nimmo and didn’t have Semien.

29. Great move that makes no sense

30. Mets should still go after Bellinger, they need a player like him after losing Alonso

31. LETS GO METS.

32. Hey Met fans get yourself some pitching then you might make the playoffs

33. another infielder,, where's the pitching? makes no sense!

34. This sounds like the press release from the highest ranking woman in the METS organization. You know her, the name is "Rosey Scenario".

35. Im.moving Baty to 1st

36. The disappointment is much deeper than Tucker. The GM has no feel for his fellow human beings or the mentality to be a winner. Trust the process and ignore the results. Go back to Milwaukee

37. This move should now guarantee the Mets a trip to the World Series. Now pictures have no other choice but to pitch directly to Juan Soto with this guy protecting him in the lineup. He’ll do nothing worse than put up Otani/judge offensive numbers. Jamie isn’t satisfied David Sterns Shouldn’t even bother with signing anybody else, this guy will do nothing but tear up the entire national league with his bat…………..😑

38. 😂😂😂

39. Alonso should have been signed imagine that lineup
