New York Mets infielder Bo Bichette has until five days after the World Series ends to decide whether to opt out of the final two years of his three-year, $126 million contract with the team.
New York Mets infielder Bo Bichette faces an upcoming decision on whether to opt out of the remaining two years of his three-year, $126 million contract.
