Bo Bichette sends message to Blue Jays fans after joining Mets

Toronto Blue Jays fans received an emotional update Wednesday as Bo Bichette addressed his departure from Toronto following a major offseason shift. Now a member of the New York Mets, the former Blue Jays shortstop made it clear that his connection to the city — and its fan base — remains deeply personal as he begins a new chapter in Queens.

Earlier this week, Bichette finalized a three-year, $126 million contract with the Mets, choosing a higher annual value and a clearer path to contention over longer-term offers elsewhere. The agreement officially ended his seven-season tenure with the Blue Jays, a stretch defined by consistency, star-level production, and persistent postseason heartbreak.

Sportsnet reporter Hazel Mae shared a written message from Bichette on X (formerly known as Twitter) addressed directly to Blue Jays supporters. In the statement, the two-time All-Star reflected on trust, resilience, and the emotional weight of the 2025 season, where the team came within outs of a championship before falling in Game 7.

The timing of Bichette’s message carried added significance. He famously returned from a late-season knee injury to play through the World Series, even shifting off shortstop to help stabilize the infield. In Game 7, Bichette launched a three-run home run off superstar Shohei Ohtani, helping Toronto build an early lead that ultimately slipped away — a moment that continues to define the most painful postseason loss in franchise history.

With the Mets, the shortstop is expected to transition to third base alongside shortstop Francisco Lindor, a move he acknowledged was driven by an urgency to win immediately. However, he made one thing clear in his farewell message: his bond with Toronto and its fans will always remain strong.
