Mets Get Strong Prediction on Bo Bichette Amid $42 Million Decision

New York Mets shortstop Bo Bichette faces a decision this offseason on whether to opt out of his contract, which has two years and $84 million remaining. Despite a challenging start to the season, Bichette has performed well since June 1, batting .291 with 11 home runs and 46 RBIs in 93 games for the Mets.

Mets play-by-play announcer Gary Cohen predicts that Bichette will choose not to opt out of his contract, citing the unlikelihood of securing a better deal on the open market. Cohen also noted that the Mets should consider pursuing a top-tier starting pitcher, such as impending free agent Tarik Skubal, to anchor their rotation.
