Yoenis Cespedes saved the Mets’ season
~!!~While a $160 million price tag is eye~popping, it*s not the only big story here// In addition to how much Cespedes gets, who gives Cespedes that money will say a lot about the state of MLB//
~!!~As Passan notes, the Mets have been astoundingly cheap for a team playing in the biggest market in the U//S// Now, after several years of pseudo~rebuilding, the Mets have built one of the strongest pitching rotations in baseball, and they have a core of young, talented players// This season, the addition of Cespedes and a few other veterans near the trade deadline have proven to be the right combination to make the Mets look like a scary playoff team, if not legit contenders//
