The Mets held a private workout with Gurriel. If Yoenis Cespedes is asked for input, expect positive reviews.
"He's a five-tool player," Cespedes told NJ Advance Media in Spanish. "For me, he's one of the most complete players that has ever come out of Cuba. When I played in Cuba, he was the best player in Cuba."
Gurriel is scheduled to work out for the Yankees in Tampa next week. Expect an Instagram post with Gurriel donning pinstripes soon. If he can truly play first base, the fit becomes even better for the Yankees.
