From wedding day to signing day.
Bo Bichette was joined by his new bride, Alexis, at Citi Field on Wednesday afternoon as he was introduced as the newest member of the Mets organization after he signed a three-year, $126 million deal.
The newly dubbed Mrs. Bichette donned a blue and orange New York or Nowhere hat, adding more Mets colors with her top.
Alexis and Bo posed together on the steps of the home team’s first base dugout with a snow-covered field in the background at the Queens baseball park.
The day at Citi Field came just weeks after the couple wed in a ceremony that had a number of his former Blue Jays teammates in attendance.
The nuptials took place the first weekend of January and appeared to be held at The Urban Stillhouse by Horse Soldier in St. Petersburg, Fla., according to images posted on social media.
Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement was among those invited and spoke about it before the big day.
“Somehow, I was lucky enough to get the invite. I’m honoured, truly, because him and his lady are just the best,” Clement said on the “Off the Roster” podcast, per the Toronto Star.
Bichette, who is expected to shift to third third base in New York, donned the Mets jersey and cap for the first time on Wednesday during a press conference at Citi Field.
He spoke glowingly of what the Mets are putting together in Queens and his belief in the ballclub.
“With a lot of prayer and conversations with my family and my agents and even some friends, came to the conclusion that it was very obvious that I wanted to be a Met,” he said. “Mr. Cohen and David [Stearns] have put together an organization is looking to win every single year.
“Has an opportunity to win a World Series every single year and a roster that backs that up. It’s very exciting to be a part of this city.”
