Mets Notebook: Jorge Polanco and Bo Bichette begin infield transitions
- Updated Feb. 12, 2026, the Mets began moving Bo Bichette to third base and Jorge Polanco to first during early camp sessions at Clover Park in Port St. Lucie, with both taking grounders and working drills.
- Because Bichette showed limited range and last year posted a-13 outs above average, the Mets moved him off shortstop, according to the club's roster changes. David Stearns leads the new-look infield.
- During live batting practice, Bichette homered off Freddy Peralta shortly after defensive work, while Kai Correa led drills with a training glove and short-hops.

- Looking toward the season, Bichette is expected to bolster the middle of the roster, with his glove at third influencing run prevention, despite strong batting stats last year.
