Mets Non-Tender Candidate Mark Vientos' Tenure in Question

Mark Vientos is among the New York Mets' 10 arbitration-eligible players, with his future with the team uncertain. Vientos' offensive production declined in 2026, with his OPS dropping to .652, and his defense remained subpar. Despite possessing power, his inconsistent performance and limited positional versatility make his inclusion on the 2027 roster a tough proposition. The Mets may non-tender him before the Nov. 20 deadline or explore a trade, with projections indicating he could earn $2.4 million in 2027.
