Everyone handles grief differently and at their own pace. Several months removed from last fall’s heartbreaking World Series Game 7 loss, superstar Bo Bichette is ready to turn the page.

Of course, Bichette is no longer with the Toronto Blue Jays, who were infamously just two outs away from capturing their first championship title in 32 years in last year’s Fall Classic. Now a member of the New York Mets, the 27-year-old infielder — inked to a three-year, $126 million contract over the off-season — isn’t looking in his rearview mirror anymore.

He’s staring at the road straight ahead, fully focused on beginning this next chapter of his major league career in Queens.

Bichette is also learning a new position this spring, transitioning from shortstop, where he owns over 6,000 career innings of experience in the majors, to third base — a position he’s never played professionally up until spring training this year.

Not only is he moving on from his Blue Jays tenure, but, at least for this season, he’s also bidding adieu to his days as a middle infielder. And he’s embarking on this chapter while being under the microscope of one of the sport’s biggest markets, possibly facing more scrutiny than he ever has previously.

Any time he misplays a routine ground ball at third, he’ll hear about it from Mets fans. If he strikes out during a pivotal situation, he’ll hear from them. That comes with the territory of playing in a market like New York, which Bichette has openly accepted.

The emotional sting of coming that close to winning it all and having the rug ripped out from underneath you will likely never fully subside unless it’s replaced by an eventual World Series celebration.

But as Bichette — who’ll return to Toronto for a three-game series in late June — aims to climb over that hurdle, he’ll now have to do it as a Met rather than a Blue Jay after his near-decade-long stint with the franchise ended over the winter, leaving behind his lasting moment of grinding through the 2025 World Series on just one leg.
