New York Mets’ Yoenis Cespedes willing to play first base (Report)

It didn’t take very long for the New York Mets to see how badly the offense suffers when Yoenis Cespedes isn’t playing on a daily basis. Although he’s not close to getting back on the active roster just yet, there’s a chance both he and the club will get creative in order to keep him healthy.

A report from Daniel Popper and Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reveal Cespedes has not only told the Mets he’s open to playing first base, but he’s also taken grounders there while rehabbing in Port St.
