No official dates for Yoelkis Cespedes’ workouts have been announced because he still hasn’t been declared a free agent in order to be eligible to be signed by a major-league team.
Scouts consider Yoelkis “a five-tool player with above-average tools across the board,” according to the MLB.com report, which added “it’s believed he will sign with the team that gives him the best opportunity to reach the big leagues quickly.”


The 5-9 outfielder also has added 20 pounds (to 205) “and now looks almost exactly like his older brother in the batter’s box,” the report stated.
Yoenis Cespedes appeared for Cuba in the 2009 WBC and defected two years later, before signing as a free agent with Oakland. He is attempting a comeback with the Mets after missing all of last season following surgeries on both heels, as well as a broken ankle sustained when he was attacked by a wild boar on his Florida farm last year.
