NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — It might be a long shot, but it’s not impossible that Yoenis Cespedes could return to the Mets in 2016, CBSSports.com/WFAN baseball insider Jon Heyman said Wednesday.
Heyman told WFAN’s Joe Benigno and Evan Roberts that he’s heard the Mets are staying in contact with the slugger.
A free agent, Cespedes has yet to sign a long-term, big-money contract with another team. The Mets appear to be open to working out a two- or three-year deal with him if he doesn’t find the deal he’s seeking elsewhere, Heyman said.
