Bo Bichette of the New York Mets is likely to remain with the team instead of opting out of his current contract. Signed for three years at $126 million, Bichette face challenges securing a comparable deal after a subpar season. His performance this year, with a.262 batting average and a.699 OPS, does not warrant risking the guaranteed $42 million he would earn in 2027. With $84 million remaining on his contract through 2028, retaining that security appears more favorable given his struggles this season.
- •Bichette signed a three-year, $126 million contract with the Mets.
- •He is hitting.262 with a.699 OPS this season.
- •There's $84 million remaining on his contract through 2028.
