What's next for Mets? David Stearns breaks down Bo Bichette, Brett Baty, Kodai Senga and 2027 roster

During his post-season media briefing, Mets executive David Stearns addressed the future configuration of the team, reviewing multiple player performances and upcoming decisions for the 2027 campaign. Stearns noted that formal dialogue regarding a potential opt-out has not yet occurred with Bo Bichette, whose regular season featured eighteen home runs and seventy-eight runs batted in across one hundred sixty games.

Meanwhile, Brett Baty heads into the winter following a strong September where he posted three home runs and sixteen RBIs, though management remains cautious about projecting immediate continuity. Ronny Mauricio is out of options for the upcoming season after flashing his potential with a pair of home runs over the weekend, putting him in line to compete for a roster spot in spring training.

Francisco Alvarez also drew praise for defensive improvements and better handling of the pitching staff during the second half of the year.
