NEW YORK -- In the first three years of his contract with the New York Mets, outfielder Yoenis Céspedes played in only 119 games -- and in just 38 since 2017 -- but the team remains optimistic he'll be an active player this upcoming abbreviated 2020 season.
"Céspedes has been working hard. We are looking forward to him getting into camp, and believe that he should be closer to being game ready than we were when we saw him last in March," Brodie van Wagenen said of the outfielder, one of the many topics discussed by the second-year Mets general manager during a conference call Monday afternoon.
