Mets Trade Rumors: Yoenis Cespedes Subject of Discussions; Deal Not Likely

There have reportedly been trade discussions surrounding New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, although there is "nothing close or imminent or even all that likely" that will take place.

Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reported the news Thursday, noting teams contacting the Mets about Cespedes' availability has been a side effect of his contract restructuring.

DiComo previously reported the Mets "reached an agreement to significantly reduce the remaining value" of his contract that was set to pay him $29.5 million in the final season of a four-year deal he signed prior to the 2017 campaign.
