Bobissett (28), who was considered the biggest infielder in the Major League Baseball (MLB) free agent (FA) market, has been confirmed. He is heading to the New York Mets, not the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Mets suffered from measles when abusive language and insults were revealed during this season.

Citing sources, the Major League's official website MLB.com reported on the 17th (Korea time), "The New York Mets signed an FA contract with Bisset on the condition of $126 million (about 186 billion won) for three years." While medical tests are under way, an official announcement from the Mets is expected soon.

According to MLB Network reporter John Heyman, the Mets and Borset's contract includes two opt-outs (the contract is broken due to the exercise of FA rights during the contract period). It can be exercised after the end of the 2026 season and after the end of the 2027 season. Bissett's average annual salary is $42 million. This is the sixth highest amount in Major League history.

The Mets were able to focus more on negotiations with Bissett as FA outfielder Kyle Tucker signed a contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers the previous day (16th). Tucker headed to the Dodgers, stamping a four-year total of $240 million with the Dodgers. In the end, the Mets changed direction after the transfer of Tucker. In just one day, the contract between the Mets and Bisset was reported. The deal spurred the Mets on their bid to win the 2026 season.

MLB.com said, "The Mets' main third baseman was Brett Batty, who achieved a career high last season. However, he was injured at the end of the regular season, he said. "Bissett is expected to change his position from shortstop to third baseman." Baty played in 130 games last season and had 18 homers and 50 RBIs. With Bissett's arrival, he is very likely to turn to the outfield.

Bissett, who debuted with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2019, is one of the major league superstars who has the top-ranked contact ability as well as long-shot power. Above all, he ranked first in the American League's most hits category for two consecutive years in the 2021 and 2022 seasons. In the 2021 season, he marked 29 home runs, 102 RBIs and 25 steals as a shortstop, and was honored to be selected as an All-Star.

Bissett, who also had 175 hits in the 2023 season, briefly slowed down due to injuries in the 2024 season. He played in 81 games in the 2024 season and posted a batting average of 0.225 (70 hits in 311 at-bats), four homers and 31 RBIs, and an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 0.599.

And Bisset made a comeback in the 2025 season. He played in 139 games with a batting average of 0.311 (181 hits in 582 at-bats), 18 homers, 94 RBIs and 78 points, and an OPS of 0.840 and played well. With Bissett's strong performance, Toronto advanced to the World Series and achieved a valuable result of being the runner-up.

After the 2025 season, the Toronto club offered Bissett a qualifying offer. However, Bissett turned it down and came to the market, and eventually left for New York at the call of the Mets.

The Mets are organizing a large number of existing main pillars ahead of the 2026 season. Pete Alonso, who was active as a central hitter, moved to the Baltimore Orioles, Brandon Nimmo, who is also the main outfielder, moved to the Texas Rangers, and "Closer" Edwin Diaz moved to the Los Angeles Dodgers. On top of that, even Jeff McNeil, who seemed to be an irreplaceable resource from the batting king, left through a trade with the Athletics. It can be said that a large number of air decomposition classes are leaving.

Of course, that doesn't mean we're just cleaning up. He signed Marcus Semien from the Texas Rangers, and Jorge Polanco, who played for the Seattle Mariners, also avoided a power collapse by holding each one in his arms. And this time, he brought Bisset and reinforced his power. On the pitching side, they brought bullpen pitchers Devin Williams and Luke Weaver, who played for the New York Yankees, respectively.

It is widely believed that the team atmosphere is not irrelevant to the Mets' reorganization of the team. In November last year, the New York Post, a U.S. media outlet, reported, "Lindor's fight with McNeil and a cold communion in the dugout helped ruin the Mets' 2025 season," adding, "They verbally abused each other for making mistakes during the game, and insulted each other by arguing in public."
