A move that was expected inside the New York Mets front office could make a major impact on the Phillies lineup. According to multiple reports, outfielder Yoenis Cespedes has opted out of his three-year, $75 million contract.
With Cespedes now expected to hit free agency, could the Phillies make a move to bring the 31-year-old outfielder?
There are some major positives for going after Yoenis Cespedes. The obvious would be his bat in the middle of the lineup being capable of hitting at-least 30 home runs. Playing half a season inside Citizens Bank Park could lead to even more balls leaving the field.
