It is believed that Bieber will be declining his player option in 2026 to hit the free agent market especially if he has a solid return to the mound this season as his value will go up.
Gm Ross Atkins stated on Overdrive that the plan regarding Bieber is that he is pitching in the World Series this year for Toronto and for next season they're open to having him stay if not they wouldn't have trade Khal Stephens.

Clearly Atkins has a lot of faith in Bieber and believes that he can return to the pitcher he was with the Guardians before the surgery if he is speaking like this about him.
The biggest part in all of this is seeing how Bieber does when he finally returns to the mound.
