Mets fans got a brief respite from seeing the squad hamstrung by its penny-pinching owners when the team signed Yoenis Cespedes to a three-year, $75 million deal last winter. There was a catch, though, in that the deal came with an opt-out clause after the first season. Now ESPN is reporting that Cespedes plans to opt out in the coming days, and that the Mets do not expect to be able to re-sign him.

David Wright, with his degenerative back, is going to finally be healthy, though. I can feel it.

And also who needs hitting when all those pitchers are coming back and penciled in for 30+ starts. No worries in the world

If you ask those guys over at Refugee they would destroyed the Cubs this year if not for health issues.

Yup and they will destroy us next year even after they lose Cespedes, can't afford any meaningful FA because their owners have no money and all their injured pitchers come back completely fine and are all CY Young candidates even tho there's decades of evidence staring them in the face telling them the contrary that more than half their rotation is dead and/or shells of their former selves when healthy. But 100 win team easy next year. No problem

a friend of mine was super good friends with Hunter's older brother when they were growing up. I loved listening to him talk about how much horsefeathers they used to give him all the time because he was always such a spaz about everything

Fangraphs' August Fagerstrom announced today he's leaving Fangraphs to join an MLB team's front office , but he's not at liberty to say which team yet.

That hideous king cake baby has been around for a while at Pelicans games. Guess that's why they went with that.

Dammit, the Adult Swim version was great, too, and nobody watched it.
