Yoenis Cespedes is done with the New York Mets. Without so much as a text saying “see ya later,” Cespedes slinked off in the middle of the night and opted-out of the 2020 season.
To be clear, there’s nothing wrong with opting-out during this unprecedented season, but there is a right way to make that decision. Unless there are some behind-the-scenes details that we don’t know about, this was 100% the wrong way to handle things. It’s completely unprofessional on his part and this won’t play well when he’s looking for his next job.
