Choi signed with the Mets in the early part of Spring Training but lost out to DJ Stewart for an Opening Day roster spot. Despite his time with Triple-A Syracuse, Choi struggled with a .183 batting average and a high strikeout rate.
Choi's underwhelming performance in Syracuse made it unlikely for him to secure an immediate MLB job, forcing his camp to search for another minor league contract with better playing time prospects.
The Mets' decision to release Choi was influenced by the presence of established players like Pete Alonso and J.D. Martinez, along with defensively limited players leading to the call-up of Jose Iglesias.
