Story is owed $25MM in each of the next two seasons, plus there's a $5MM buyout on his $25MM club option for the 2028 campaign. The Red Sox can override Story's opt-out by guaranteeing that 2028 club option right now, but that doesn't appear to be on the team's radar, so the ball looks to be entirely in Story's court.

Catcher James McCann signed a minor league deal with Atlanta containing a rolling opt-out clause, allowing him to pursue a big league job if offered.
