Bichette, earning $42 million, has struggled with an 86 OPS+ and -0.1 bWAR, leading to concerns about his value as trade talks loom. Analysts suggest the Mets might find it hard to trade him due to his current form, and ongoing issues with his hitting are making it difficult for the team to rely on him for a turnaround.
