Mets face challenges with Semien's $46M contract over two seasons

The New York Mets are facing a difficult offseason as they still owe Marcus Semien $46 million over the next two years. Semien, who was expected to play a significant role, may find himself as a bench option due to performance issues. His contract includes payments of $26 million in 2027 and $20 million in 2028, with a luxury tax impact of $24 million each season. The team has not committed to his future as the starting second baseman. As the offseason unfolds, the Mets will need to navigate potential trade difficulties or consider other roles for Semien.
