Yoenis Cespedes is a Met again, of course, but his new three-year, $75-million contract does not become official until he passes a physical exam. The hope is that Cespedes will be examined by Mets doctors in the next 24-72 hours.
That means the club could schedule a press conference for the slugging outfielder later this week, depending on the results of his medical exams. Nothing is set yet, though.
Cespedes, 30, helped propel the Mets into the World Series last season after a midseason trade from Detroit. In 57 games as a Met, he had 17 homers, 35 extra-base hits and 44 RBI.
