According to Andy Martino of SNY, the New York Mets are still looking to trade Yoenis Cespedes and Jed Lowrie. He also notes that it’s been incredibly difficult for the Mets to drum up interest in the two players.
The last time Cespedes played in more than 81 games during a season came in 2016. He’s coming off serious foot surgery on both feet. His salary may have been cut down, but he’s still owed $9 million this season even before any incentives.
It’s hard to see any team taking that contract without some proof that Cespedes is 100% healthy.
