As part of their offseason overhaul, the Mets signed Bo Bichette to a three-year, $126MM deal and Jorge Polanco to a two-year, $40MM contract to strengthen their infield. Bichette, moving to third base, boasts superior offensive stats with a 134 wRC+ last season, while Polanco, transitioning to first base and DH, also had a strong 132 wRC+. Both players have defensive weaknesses, with Bichette graded poorly at shortstop and Polanco struggling at second and third. The question remains whether Bichette’s high AAV is justified or if Polanco offers better value given his lower cost and recent performance.
