Does Sandy Alderson and the rest of the Mets brass not remember what the Mets offense looked like before he got Cespedes? Who cares that he slumped in the playoffs, if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have been in the playoffs in the first place....literally. I got nothing against Juan Lageres, but so far Lagares hasn't proven that he's anything more than a 4th outfielder who also happens to play great defense. As for Alejandro De Aza? Who even knew he even existed before the Mets somehow found and signed him to a one-year deal?
Bottom line, unless Fred and Jeff Wilpon and aren't being fully honest with Met fans and are still being affected by the Bernie Madoff scandal, there's no reason to at least see if Cespedes is willing to come down off his public price and see they can reach a deal that's fair to both sides. The Mets lineup desperately needs a big bat in the middle and now that Chris Davis has finally re-signed with the Orioles, getting Cespedes can and should be a priority.
