NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – The Yoenis Céspedes saga has reportedly taken yet another bizarre turn – in a story that is certain not to “boar” Mets fans.
According to reporters Joel Sherman and Ken Davidoff of the New York Post, the injury that ended up costing the outfielder millions of dollars and violated his contract was allegedly caused by a wild boar.
The mind-boggling injury – which left him multiple right ankle fractures – took place in May while Céspedes was recovering from double heel surgery at his ranch in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
