The mystery surrounding the ankle injury that forced Yoenis Cespedes to miss the 2019 season and gave the Mets grounds to slash his contract appears to finally have an answer.
Joel Sherman, Ken Davidoff and Mike Puma of the New York Post reported Cespedes did, indeed, fracture his ankle stepping into a hole on his Florida ranch, but it was due to him trying to evade a wild boar that came onto his property.
Cespedes could lose up to $30 million after restructuring his contract in December.
