Yoenis Cespedes’ 40-home-run brag leaks out: ‘Go out with a bang’

Yoenis Cespedes plans on giving the Mets plenty of bang for their buck.

Despite spending nearly two years away from baseball because of ankle fractures and surgery on both heels, the 34-year-old outfielder expects to enjoy a career year in 2020.

Cespedes recently reached an agreement with the Mets to “amend and restructure” his contract, according to Post sources. His $29.5 million salary will go down to $10 million, based on the belief that the outfielder violated his deal. The Mets investigated the circumstances around Cespedes falling on his ranch and suffering multiple fractures in his right ankle.
