Jim Bowden of ESPN is reporting that Yoenis Cespdes may be close to signing a contract for 2016 season. It's not certain where Cespedes will sign, but the White Sox, Braves and Mets are known to be interested. The Angels and Tigers are still in the mix.
take mets out the mix because mets are not willing to pay for him nor cespedes wants to come back
ReplyDeleteI think he liked the NY stage.....but is afraid to "Not cash in on his awesome 2 months there".....He probably wouldn't repeat his stats if he plays there for 2016....Oh he'll be very good, but he was unconscious last August & September. That would be tough to duplicate, then cash in after 2016.
ReplyDeleteFunny that 4-5 days after we both post that the Mets are out of it.....They are right back in the thick of the Cespedes situation. Cespedes has even said that "He wants to play with the Mets", but they need to make a solid offer to him. They are playing games with him right now......saying that he must accept a 3 year deal.....THEN they'll talk about money. If they'd give him 3/$70.....I think he signs. Nats have offered 5/$100+ per several sources.....but "He hasn't agreed yet". That can only work in the Mets' favor, at least for today!
