Yoenis Cespedes Takes Swings, Declines To Talk Publicly

At around 10:30 a.m. Monday, Yoenis Céspedes emerged from the Mets' clubhouse to participate in stretches with the team. Fifteen minutes later, he ducked behind the batting cage alone, only to resurface on a back field later in the morning. Céspedes signed autographs and posed for selfies for a long while, then took live batting practice against pitcher Michael Wacha. On one of his first swings, he lost his grip on his bat, launching it over the third-base dugout. On another, he pulled a would-be home run just foul.
