The weird problem within Mets’ magic start: their best hitter

Modal Trigger

Yoenis Cespedes

There are several ways to look at the current situation around Yoenis Cespedes. The Mets outfielder is struggling, hitting .190, well below his weight (220).

Now this being New York, there is option No. 1, which is to delve into an all-out, full-fledged panic. He’s done, washed up. Why did they ever re-sign him? Ship him out and get whatever you can for him.

Or there is a cool-headed approach, which says he will return and be the hitter his history says he is. The Mets so far have survived his mini-crisis.
