NEW YORK -- Yoenis Cespedes is sure he'll be ready to start the pandemic-delayed season with the New York Mets.
Out of the lineup for almost two years, the 34-year-old slugger said Saturday he finally is close to fully recovered from a string of injuries to his feet and legs.
"I don't have an exact percentage on how I feel, but I feel way better than I did back in March," Cespedes said through a translator on a video conference call.
When the coronavirus outbreak halted spring training on March 12 and pushed back Opening Day about four months, that gave Cespedes more time to rehab and heal up.
