New York Mets general manager David Stearns addressed media Friday at Citi Field, fielding questions about the team's future roster. Among the topics discussed was third baseman Bo Bichette, whose contract includes significant player options for the 2027 and 2028 seasons.
Stearns confirmed that he has not yet spoken with Bichette about his future with the team. However, Bichette has demonstrated his capability to play third base, a position he transitioned to. Some observers had previously questioned whether Bichette possessed the necessary arm strength for the move.
