Looking At Bichette

Bichette is in his first season with the Mets after seven years with the Toronto Blue Jays.

The two-time MLB All-Star is batting .222 with 52 hits, five home runs, 27 RBI’s, 27 runs and one stolen base in 58 games.

Considering what they are paying him, the Mets will need Bichette to turn things around soon.
