When it Comes to Yoenis Cespedes, the Reality Trumps the Fiction

Error 0:

Mention the name Yoenis Cespedes to any New York Mets fans an they will either roll their eyes or simply cringe. The slugger who carried the Mets to the 2015 World Series has been a ghost basically ever since the club signed him to a four-year, $110 million contract at the end of the 2016 season.

In 2017, a hamstring strain limited Cespedes to just 81 games. The next season, he played just 38 games before it was revealed that he would undergo consecutive surgeries on his heels that would keep him sidelined for ten months.
