Rest-of-Season Projections
Staying with organization
Choi, who was reassigned to minor-league camp Sunday after being informed he wouldn't make the Mets' Opening Day roster, won't exercise the opt-out clause in his contract and will begin the season with Triple-A Syracuse, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Even though the newly signed J.D. Martinez isn't expected to be available for their first series of the regular season, the Mets opted not to carry Choi as an option at designated hitter for Opening Day. Though his path to a big-league roster spot will become more blocked once Martinez is ready to make his Mets debut, Choi will stick around in the organization and stay ready at Triple-A in the event an opportunity in New York emerges.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May get moved
The Pirates have gotten hits on Choi in trade talks, but no deals are imminent, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The rebuilding Pirates would surely like to turn Choi into a young prospect of interest, but it's not clear that another team would be willing to give up anything of value to obtain his services. The 32-year-old lefty hitter is batting .205 with six home runs in 23 games. Austin Hedges and Rich Hill are the other remaining vets the Pirates will look to move before Tuesday's deadline.

If Choi were allowed to face Gerrit Cole every at bat, Choi would be a first round selection as he is somehow a lifetime .417/.533/.917 hitter against Cole in 30 plate appearances and a .236 hitter against the rest of the league over his career. Choi was a cult hero with the Tampa Bay fan base for his moments against Cole as well as some other timely hits and and animated celebrations, but injuries and the inability to do anything against lefties limited his value. His production fell off a cliff in the second half of last season, so the hope is he can revive some fantasy value in NL-Only formats with regular playing time in Pittsburgh. If the Pirates allow him to face lefties, the batting average will never get over .240, but Choi has one of the more discernable eyes at the plate in the league making him more valuable in OBP formats. This is not a player you want seeing 500 plate appearances in 2023, but one who can still provide some streaming value in-season when the projected matchups are loaded with righty pitchers.
