PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Yoenis Céspedes expects to be ready to play by opening day. He said so himself.
Six days after saying he didn’t plan to speak to the media all season, the New York Mets slugger broke his silence Sunday.
Out of the lineup since July 2018 with heel problems, Céspedes said he planned to play in spring training games by the middle of March. And if all goes well, he intended to be in the lineup on March 26 when the Mets host the World Series champion Washington Nationals in the opener.
