AP source: Cespedes, Mets agree to $110M, 4-year contract
NEW YORK — Yoenis Cespedes is staying with the New York Mets — again.
After testing free agency for the second straight off-season, the slugging outfielder agreed to a $110 million, four-year contract with New York, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the agreement is subject to Cespedes successfully completing a physical.
A two-time All-Star, Cespedes gets $22.5 million in 2017, $29 million in each of the following two seasons and $29.5 million in 2020.
