When asked what kind of reception he expected from fans, Bichette began to answer before he paused to look out at the field, fighting back tears.

鈥淚 gave it everything I had,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 just hope that's appreciated."

Monday was Bichette鈥檚 first game back in Toronto since the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Blue Jays in Game 7 of the 2025 World Series. He said he hadn鈥檛 anticipated getting emotional during his pre-game media availability.

鈥淚 didn't expect that, to be honest, but this is also the first time I've been out here, and the first time I've really talked to any of you guys,鈥� he said. 鈥淚'm sure there's a lot of things that are being brought on me at one time right now.鈥�

Bichette received a warm reception from the Rogers Centre crowd, receiving standing ovations after a tribute video played on the stadium鈥檚 big screen and ahead of his first at-bat. Both times, Bichette acknowledged the applause, showing his appreciation by tipping his cap and waving to the crowd.

His first at-bat was an out 鈥� flying out to centre-fielder Myles Straw, but moving baserunner Juan Soto to third base.

Following the end of the 2025 season, Bichette became a free agent and signed a three-year, US$126-million deal with the Mets.

Before joining the Mets, Bichette spent his entire MLB career in Toronto. The Blue Jays drafted the infielder in the second round in 2016, and he made his major-league debut in July of 2019.

Over seven seasons with the Blue Jays, Bichette, a two-time All-Star, batted .294 with 111 home runs, 437 RBIs and an .806 OPS in 748 games.

Bichette said it felt 鈥渄ifferent鈥� to be back in Toronto.

鈥淚'm excited to get out here and play some ball and see some guys,鈥� said Bichette, who viewed his time return as an opportunity to 鈥渞eflect on good times, and just be grateful.鈥�

Among the good times was last year鈥檚 Blue Jays鈥� run to the World Series. Bichette missed the majority of the post-season with a left knee injury, but made his return to the lineup during the World Series.

In Game 7, he hit a three-run home run in the third inning off Dodgers starter Shohei Ohtani that gave Toronto an early lead before L.A. came back to win in extra innings.

鈥淲hen I hit that home run, I had a moment by myself, kind of down in the tunnel, where I just was like, I couldn't have drew it up better. Obviously, I hoped we would have won, but for me, just what I was going through up to that point, it was cool,鈥� he said.

As Bichette navigated free agency, he said he had a feeling his time in Toronto had come to an end before he signed with the Mets. But the third baseman said he doesn鈥檛 have regrets.

鈥淚 think at the end of the day, it just didn't line up for whatever reason,鈥� he said. 鈥淏ut no, I mean, (it鈥檚) tough to live in the past like that.鈥�

Bichette got off to a slow start for the Mets this season, but he has performed better recently. Entering Monday鈥檚 game, he was batting .337 with five home runs and 18 RBIs with a .932 OPS through 25 games in June.

Before the game, Bichette said he had yet to reunite with former teammate and close friend Vladimir Guerrero Jr., with whom he shared a field with throughout the minor leagues as well.

鈥淚t鈥檒l be good,鈥� he said, again becoming emotional, about what it would be like to see Guerrero.

鈥淲e went through it all together,鈥� Bichette said about his relationship with the Blue Jays first baseman. 鈥淭he one goal we had together, we didn't accomplish it, but I've seen him at his lowest, and he's seen me at mine, and vice versa at our highest.鈥�
