Yo, Mets. Make it happen.
Michael Cuddyer handed the team an early Christmas gift with his decision to retire. Now go out and use that money to get a game-changing, season-changing outfielder — you know, a guy named Yoenis Cespedes.
You know better than any team what Cespedes can do for you. Look at all those postseason sellouts you had at Citi Field.
Cuddyer was due to make $12.5 million in 2016. With word of his retirement coming out Friday night, this is found money and the Mets already know Cespedes was a difference-maker when he came over in that trade from the Tigers.
