Error 0:

After a rocky week with the press, New York Mets‘ slugger finally spoke. Days after saying that he wouldn’t speak to the media covering the Mets in Port St. Lucie, the Cuban slugger decided to talk.

Early Sunday morning, Cespedes broke his silence and said that his intention is to be ready for Opening Day and help the Mets in their quest for the playoffs.

“If I continue progressing the way that I am, yes,” Céspedes said through an interpreter, quoted by MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo.

After the 2019 wild boar accident in his ranch that resulted in a fractured ankle, the New York Mets amended his deal.
