CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Fred Wilpon said he was in the dark concerning the Mets’ place in the Yoenis Cespedes sweepstakes, while Hal Steinbrenner playfully tried to make the situation even cloudier.
Wilpon, the Mets’ CEO, was noncommittal Wednesday when asked whether the Mets would re-sign Cespedes, the electrifying figure from their 2015 National League pennant run.
“Your guess is as good as mine,” Wilpon said at the Major League Baseball quarterly owners’ meetings. “I’ll stick with what Sandy said.”
On Tuesday night, Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said the Mets remained in conversation with Cespedes’ representatives and provided no further information.
