The Mets have agreed to a three-year deal with outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, according to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports.
The deal will be worth $75 million and will include both an opt-out after the first year and a no-trade clause, reports Rosenthal.
It was reported earlier on Friday that the Mets were in talks with Cespedes’ camp but things remained relatively quiet until around 10:30 p.m. It was then that rumors of mystery teams emerged, as reported by both Rosenthal and Jon Heyman.
Less than a half hour after the reports of the supposed mystery team or teams, it was reported that the Mets and Cespedes had a deal.
