Now Mickey Callaway says he did know that Yoenis Cespedes announced he might need surgery on both heels following Friday night’s win over the Yankees when the manager spoke to the media on Saturday.
“On that, obviously, we talk all the time,’’ the manager said Monday of his dealings with the Mets’ P.R. staff. “And I knew what [Cespedes] had said. I didn’t see his interview [from after the game], but I get filled in on what everybody says every night.”
So why did he tell reporters on Saturday that “I am not quite exactly sure what [Cespedes] said, but I know he came in pretty sore today and we are not going to start him”?
