Bichette’s $42M Option Stalls Mets Trade Plans | New York Mets News

The Mets are poised for a major trade deadline shakeup, with most of their roster up for grabs—except maybe Juan Soto and a few young stars. But one player, infielder Bo Bichette, could be a sticking point: his $42 million player option for 2027 and full no-trade clause make him nearly impossible to move. Despite his All-Star pedigree, Bichette’s 2024 stats (253/.353/.670, 0 WAR) don’t justify that price tag, and he’s likely to pick up the option—making him a high-risk, low-reward asset. The Mets may be forced to keep him around, or face a trade that’s nearly impossible to pull off without major concessions.
