The new deal is reported to be a three-year contract worth
$75 million and will have an opt out clause after the first

Cespedes was a coveted free agent after a career year that saw
him hit .291 with 35 home runs and 105 RBIs.
The 30-year-old outfielder started the year with the Detroit
Tigers before being traded to the Mets in July.
He helped New York reach the World Series, where they lost to
the Kansas City Royals.
