Then, in one of the offseason’s most surprising moves, the Mets signed star infielder Bo Bichette to be the club’s third baseman. Bichette has always been a shortstop up until this point, but Francisco Lindor already holds that spot for the Mets, meaning the logical thing to do was to slide their new signee over to third. It’ll be an interesting experiment considering Bichette’s uninspiring defensive abilities. New York will be hoping his lack of defense will be better hidden at third than at shortstop.
