2015 NLDS, Mets vs. Dodgers: Yoenis Cespedes is back in the playoffs, with a few other A's favorites

Three teams later, Yoenis Cespedes is back in the playoffs. La Potencia finally put together his true breakout season in 2015, after being dealt during the offseason from the Red Sox to the Tigers. Cespedes was good for Detroit, quite a bit better than he'd been in 2013 and 2014, and when the Tigers fell out of the race they sent him to the New York Mets as a two-month rental. Cespedes exploded for the Mets down the stretch, posting a 157 OPS+ and 17 homers in 57 games -- in September, he homered in 9 of the first 13 games.
