Mets face challenges with Bo Bichette's underperformance in 2026

The New York Mets are grappling with Bo Bichette's disappointing performance in the 2026 season. 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. The organization had higher expectations for Bichette, who was once a prominent player with the Toronto Blue Jays.
