OPEN THREAD - Should the Mets Add the Cuban Cowboy?

Yoenis Cespedes on Horseback, Some Years Back

Saw this in this in the NY Post:

I’m ready to play but just for the Mets,” (Yoenis) Cespedes wrote from his official Instagram account.

What do you think of a Mets reunion with the former star who a decade ago ignited the Mets' 2015 pennant surge and last World Series appearance?

He' sure have a lot to prove at age 39. Why would he do any better than Mike Tyson at age 58?

My thoughts exactly. He has a very muscular build, like Marte. As we have seen (and experienced), the muscles don't do well as you get deep into the 4th decade of life. He would be a shell of his former self.

An acquaintance of mine, Daniel Rodriguez, who was the cop who sang at Shea in the first game after 9-11-01, sings this song about the Mets' quest for Juan Soto. https://www.google.com/search?q=to+dream+the+impossible+dream+daniel+rodriquez+you+tube&rlz=1C1UEAD_enUS940US941&oq=to+dream+the+impossible+dream+daniel+rodriquez+you+tube&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIJCAEQIRgKGKABMgkIAhAhGAoYoAEyCQgDECEYChigATIJCAQQIRgKGKABMgYIBRAhGArSAQk1MDQyM2owajeoAgiwAgE&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:961fe1b7,vid:ePfFYQUXpjQ,st:0
