The details continue to be revealed and refined:
"Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes’ base salary in 2020 was cut to $6 million from its original $29.5 million as part of an amended contract with the club that avoided a grievance hearing, according to details obtained by The Associated Press. Cespedes, however, would raise his pay to $11 million if he has one active day on the major- league roster and to $20 million if he has 650 plate appearances . . . He hasn’t played since July 20, 2018, and has topped 321 plate appearances just once since 2015."
What a waste of money. I don't blame the Mets in the least and I think the previous article said the MLBPA approved these actions.
