Mets Shake Up Infield, Bichette Returns to Shortstop

0:00It's April 26th. This is New York Met's News Today, Team News powered by AI. The Met's finally broke their skid with a couple wins over the twins, but then they dropped the tight 4-3 game to the Rockies at City Field on Friday night. That puts New York at 9-17, sitting forth in the National League East, and now they're shaking things up for Sunday's match-up. Boba Shet, their big off-season signing on a three-year, $126 million deal, has been struggling at third base. The 28-year-old is hitting just $249 with one homer and 12 RBIs through 26 games, a big drop from his days in Toronto. Bechette spent his whole seven-year career with the Blue Jays at Shortstop, where he was a two-time all-star and led the American League in hits. Twice. He posted a solid 294 average there, with 111 homers overall. With Francisco Lindor out nursing a cap strain, manager Carlos Mendoza is sliding Bechette back to his natural spot at Short, for the first time as a Met.

1:04Brett Beatty, who chipped in two RBIs Friday, slides over to third. This tweak against the shaky 11-16 Rocky Squad, could spark Bechette's bat and steady the infield just when the Met's need momentum to. Time out of the basement.
