New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes reportedly opted out of the 2020 MLB season in part because he wasn't happy with the idea of being the team's designated hitter.
Andy Martino of SNY wrote about Cespedes' decision Friday:
"Based on new reporting, Cespedes' opt-out appeared to come as a result of a blend of persistent concerns over his contract incentives and displeasure over the way in which the Mets were using him. Both concerns converged on the morning of Aug. 2, when he abandoned the team in Atlanta.
