Will Yoenis Cespedes opt out?

The Record-USA TODAY Sports

The New York Mets slugging outfielder Yoenis Cespedes has a huge decision to make over the off-season. Cespedes has an opt out option in his contract and may use it to test free agency. Cespedes hit .280 with 31 homeruns and 86 RBI in 132 games this season.

The Mets were eliminated from the postseason in the NL Wildcard game on Wednesday. That's the second year in a row the Mets have been exited out of the playoffs. Cespedes may decide it's time to move on to another organization.

While Cespedes would likely consider re-signing with the Mets if he decides to opt out. If he decides to opt out I don't believe the Mets would go after him. The only reason to opt out of his current contract would be to try and get a bigger contract from another team. Injuries crushed the Mets 2016 season and I believe Cespedes knows that one of his best chances to win a World Series is by staying with the Mets.
