Bo Bichette of the New York Mets is reportedly considering opting out of his three-year, $126 million contract. Despite this potential move, analysts express skepticism, noting Bichette's underwhelming performance, with a current bWAR of -0.3. A former general manager suggested that the infielder likely won’t find comparable financial offers in free agency.
