With the Wilpon family still running the Mets on a fairly limited budget, they need to get a lot out of their few big-money everyday players. That isn't happening right now, and it is one reason why the Mickey Callaway Watch won't end anytime soon, despite the vote of confidence he received Monday
After Monday's injury news, it's fair to wonder whether this Yoenis Cespedes home run on July 20, 2018 will be the last one he ever hits for them. Give the Mets credit. In an era when twist endings are very popular in entertainment, they came up with a twist beginning Monday.
Van Wagenen, formerly Cespedes’ agent, said the injury was not baseball-related. According to the Mets, he suffered a violent fall. Although Cespedes hasn’t played a major-league game since July 20, 2018, and has played only 119 games for the Mets since the start of the 2017 season, he remains their highest-salaried player, as he still is owed $58.5 through the end of the 2020 season, per spotrac.com.
Cano apologists will note, correctly, that the Mets knew of this longtime character flaw when they acquired Cano in a trade with Seattle in the off-season. True, but to borrow a phrase from ex-Mets GM Sandy Alderson, it’s “bad optics” for a player making $24 million per year for the next five seasons to set such a terrible example for his younger teammates.He has one homer and nine RBI in his last 35 games. The Mets literally cannot afford those types of numbers with the salary Cano is making.
