Yoenis Cespedes opts out

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes has elected to exercise his option to opt out of the 2020 season, per reports. The 34 year old Cespedes had appeared in 8 games for the Mets this season, and had posted a 622 OPS.

This would appear to be the final chapter of what has been an up-and-down relationship between Cespedes and the Mets. The Mets acquired Cespedes on July 31, 2015, from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for Michael Fulmer and Luis Cessa.
