November 2, 201510 yr NEW YORK -- The Mets are expected to modestly pursue Yoenis Cespedes as a free agent, but a team official told ESPN.com it is highly likely he signs elsewhere. EDITOR'S PICKS What happens now? Forecasting the futures of Cespedes, Murphy The Mets are well-positioned with a core of young starting pitching. But what happens to free agents such as Yoenis Cespdes and Daniel Murphy? #MLBFrontOffice: What's next for the Mets? Should the Mets pay the market price to bring back Yoenis Cespdes and Daniel Murphy? Jim Bowden offers his take as he previews New York's offseason. Cespedes takes foul off knee; X-rays negative New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes departed Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday after fouling a ball off the top of his left knee in the sixth inning. The Mets' acquisition of Cespedes as a rental from the Detroit Tigers 13 minutes before the non-waiver trade deadline for highly regarded pitching prospect Michael Fulmer jump-started the team's moribund offense, fueling a run that ended with their World Series loss to the Kansas City Royals in five games. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/14036526...yoenis-cespedes
November 2, 201510 yr Maybe they don't like their uniforms smelling like smoke. Supposedly, Cespedes is a chain smoker.

Whatever team signs him will prove they don't care about team chemistry. He appears lazy on the field and if he's a chain smoker, my gawd.

November 8, 201510 yr Meh. Greg is mostly right. Cespedes work ethic was always questioned in Oakland. His performance never really matched the talent til he neared free agency. Now that he'll be settled in for good I could definitely see him busting hard.
November 8, 201510 yr I don't believe in team chemistry, but I think greg has a point. Giving Cespedes a big guaranteed deal seems dangerous, he might get disinterested very quickly.
November 8, 201510 yr I thought there was some clause basically making it impossible the team he played for to re-sign him?
