Bo Bichette has played shortstop for essentially the entirety of his MLB career with the Toronto Blue Jays.
But in joining the New York Mets and all-world shortstop Francisco Lindor, Bichette appears to have ceded that position.
It's a big-money deal, three years and $126 million, for a guy who looks like he'll have to change positions.
Where will we go? The Mets surely already have it figured out. You don't dish out $42 million per year without knowing the answer.

What position will Bo Bichette play with the Mets?
Bichette appears lined up to play third base, if all goes well.
He had played second base in the playoffs for the Blue Jays after coming back from injury.
But this offseason, the Mets traded for Marcus Semien, who is a Gold Glove at second base.
Bichette slotting in at third means the likes of Mark Vientos, Ronny Mauricio and Luisangel Acuna all appear to be bench bats, assuming Brett Baty is the DH.
This points to a trade coming. That's a lot of young, talented bats, one of whom could certainly be used to acquire some much-needed pitching.

Bichette has never appeared in an MLB game at third base.
He also has never played third in the minors.
So this could be a fascinating experiment, a pricy one, too.
