Mets Lose Picks

Mets lost second- and fifth-round picks after Bo Bichette rejected a qualifying offer and the club exceeded the luxury-tax threshold.
The penalty moved the Mets’ first-round slot to the 27th overall pick, dropped it ten places as a sanction, and eliminated a second-round pick.
The organization kept a compensatory fourth-round pick after losing reliever Edwin Diaz, viewing the draft as a crucial chance to rebuild talent amid a declining farm system.
