Sometimes Spring Training stories can be mundane, but we read them anyway because we’re desperate for anything baseball related this time of year. Other times, as Adam Rubin reports, Yoenis Cespedes buys a pig for $7,000. 

It’s not as strange as it sounds. Cespedes was wearing a cowboy outfit when he purchased it. 

Cespedes rules. 

It’s at the point where nothing Cespedes does now will surprise me. He spent the beginning of Spring Training showing off his car collection.  Now that he’s out of cars to premiere, Cespedes is now purchasing livestock. Today was a big. Tomorrow may be a cow. Hopefully, he will purchase a goat as there is a Murphy missing from this Spring Training. 

I wouldn’t be shocked if Cespedes buys more animals and creates a petting zoo. Maybe he will have a luau. I can see him naming the pig Babe and taking him to New York City. Cespedes’ quirky behavior has been a lot of fun in what is usually a boring time of the year. So far, year two of Cespedes has been fantastic. 

Hopefully, this year Cespedes winds up a champion like the pig he just purchased.
