New York Mets try Yoenis Cespedes at 1B (Video)

SNY posted a video of New York Mets star Yoenis Cespedes taking grounders at first base. The slugger has talked about moving out of the outfield for a few years now. When his calcified heels first came up in 2018, Cespedes made it known he was willing to switch to first base. Now it seems the Mets are revisiting the idea.

Cespedes has never played first base in a major league game.
