Cespedes -- who hasn't played in the big leagues since appearing in eight games with the Mets during the truncated 2020 season -- was hitting just .188/.239/.406 with four homers and 11 RBI in 71 plate appearances before the injury. It's likely that we have seen the last of the 37-year-old slugger in the big leagues.

Cespedes is now 35 and hasn't played a full season since 2016, so the idea that he could play four more years is pretty far-fetched. He was reportedly impressive during his showcase for clubs on Tuesday, so it seems like he should be able to latch on with a team soon. Cespedes figures to be limited to designated hitter duty at this stage of his career.

DiComo adds that "close to a dozen teams" were in attendance for the workout, including the Blue Jays, Brewers, Rays, Tigers, Padres, and White Sox. It was a quiet winter for the 35-year-old slugger, who went just 5-for-31 (.161) in eight games last summer with the Mets before opting out of the remainder of the season in early August. A scout in attendance Tuesday suggested to DiComo that Cespedes "could go be someone's DH" but probably lacks the overall mobility at this point in his career to be a regular starting outfielder.

The showcase will take place in Fort Pierce, Florida. Cespedes, 35, appeared in just eight games with the Mets in 2020 before deciding to opt out due to COVID-19 related reasons. Odds are he'll have to prove himself on a minor league deal.
