The New York Mets have greatly amended the contract of Yoenis Cespedes for 2020 after the left fielder suffered multiple ankle fractures at his ranch in May.
According to Ronald Blum of the Associated Press, Cespedes' base salary dropped from $29.5 million to just $6 million. He can make as much as $20 million next year if he has at least 650 plate appearances.
