The Mets figured out how to rebound.
Bo Bichette is headed to Queens on a three-year, $126 million deal, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed Friday.
The deal comes with two opt-outs and no deferred money, and is pending a physical.
The move for the infielder comes a day after the Amazin’s lost out on outfielder Kyle Tucker to the Dodgers. Tucker signed for four years and $240 million.
Bichette is expected to play third base, per Heyman — a position he’s yet to play during his seven-year MLB career, all with the Blue Jays to this point.
The shortstop, coming off a knee injury, moved to second base to help cover for his limited range during Toronto’s epic seven-game World Series against the Dodgers.
He reportedly told teams he was willing to move to the keystone to widen his free agency market, though it remains unclear playing third was a part of those discussions.
It’s another bizarre move for a franchise that preached defense this offseason, having also brought in Jorge Polanco from the Mariners — a career shortstop they’re planning to give time to at first base despite having played the position for one pitch in his 12-year MLB career.
Brett Baty, one of a bevy of third base prospects along with Mark Vientos and Ronny Mauricio the franchise has waited to blossom, will get time at other spots around the diamond or be used as trade bait.
Vientos is slated to see increased time at first.
A second-round pick by the Blue Jays in 2016, Bichette, son of ex-MLBer Dante Bichette, owns a .294/.337/.469 slash line over seven seasons, compiling a career WAR of 21.
He was a hot commodity in free agency, meeting with the Phillies earlier in the week and was reportedly garnering interest from the Yankees.
