Can We Get Cespedes for a Song?
All it took was one Tweet for Mets fans to get suckered back in on the Yoenis Cespedes front:
Sources: Mets, Cespedes discussing an opt-out clause after the 1st year of a three-year deal. Would allow him to test market again Fall '16.

Now, every Mets fan is hitting refresh on Twitter and on MLB Trade Rumors. Essentially, everyone is hoping Cespedes is going to take an under market contract to stay with the Mets.
Honestly, this whole situation reminds me of a George Harrison song:
The long story short is the a Mets fans can’t stop thinking about Cespedes. However, the man is going to want to get paid. Unfortunately, it still doesn’t look like the Mets are going to give him a “whole lot of spending money” or “the time to do it right, child”.
I hope I’m wrong. I hope the Mets can get Cespedes for a song.
