METS SIGN YOENIS CESPEDES TO 4-YEAR, $110 MILLION DEAL

The  New York Mets have signed outfielder Yoenis Cespedes to a four-year deal, media from US reported.

“Yoenis is a dynamic player who can beat you in many ways,” Mets manager Terry Collins said in a statement. “It’s a great holiday present for the Mets to know he’ll be in the middle of our lineup. He makes everyone around him better.”
As per reports the deal is worth $110 million and includes a full no-trade clause. Cespedes will make $22.5 million in 2017, $29 million in 2018 and 2019 and $29.5 million in 2020.
It’s the top average annual value ever for an outfielder and ties the top AAV ever for a free-agent position player. It’s the second-highest AAV for any position player behind Detroit’s Migued Carbrera.

Cespedes, 31, hit .280 and led the Mets with 31 home runs and 86 RBIs last season. He had received a three-year, $75 million deal from the Mets last offseason. That agreement gave him the right to opt out after collecting $27.5 million in 2016
