    I was at Lake Piru as a kid. Camped there and Lake Casitas. Any water is dangerous if there is under current and or a person can't swim.

    Mets' Yoenis Cespedes opting out of 2020 season
    1:43 PM ET



    The New York Mets' Yoenis Cespedes has opted out of the 2020 season after he did not report to Truist Park for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves, according to general manager Brodie Van Wagenen.

    Van Wagenen addressed Cespedes' decision with reporters after the Mets' 4-0 loss.
    ADVERTISEMENT

    Earlier Sunday, the Mets released a statement in which Van Wagenen said they could not reach Cespedes.

    "He did not reach out to management with any explanation for his absence," Van Wagenen said. "Our attempts to contact him have been unsuccessful."
    Editor's Picks



    Cespedes, 34, was the designated hitter for Saturday's 7-1 loss to the Braves, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. He had served as the Mets' designated hitter in eight games this season, going 5-for-31 (.161) with 15 strikeouts.

    A two-time All-Star, Cespedes returned to the lineup this season for the first time since July 20, 2018. He missed most of the past two years with a series of leg problems, getting surgery on both heels and then a broken ankle after a tumble at his Florida ranch from a reported run-in with a wild boar.

    He opted out for COVID reasons, yet did not inform the team himself.

    Reports are it is COVID related, so if true, not really "quitting". But the WAY is went down was very shady.

    The Mets will announce a multitude of players tested positive for covid19 to justify the ass whooping they got from the Braves this weekend.

    Pissed about his bonuses.....


    The Mets announced Sunday afternoon that Cespedes opted out of this season over concerns about COVID-19, and a friend backed up that version.

    But multiple sources confirmed that twice in the first nine games of the season, Cespedes confronted Mets officials concerned about playing time and that he would be kept out of lineups to prevent him from reaching lucrative performance bonuses. One of those came Saturday, when Cespedes first talked to Luis Rojas and then Brodie Van Wagenen about his playing status and bonuses. Then Cespedes knew before the buses left for Truist Park on Sunday he was not in the starting lineup and he never showed for the game against the Braves, triggering a bizarre day even for the Mets.

    Mets have announced they just offered a contract extension to cespedes, with a Bobby Bonilla like deferrment.

    They hope he takes it. It will scrap his existing contract and instead he'll get an offer worth 750 million.

    Payable by 100 dollars per year for the next 7.5 million years

    It really seems like people are upset at Cespedes for treating the baseball org/owners exactly like they've been treating players, especially recently. Owners can't cry about a lack of communication when players are finding out their game status on Twitter before anywhere else.

    There is no way allowing him to use the virus as an excuse should be acceptable, when he no showed the game. Guy was either high, drunk or both. Mets must not pay him another dollar. Opt out without pay, or suspended without pay. Whichever way they want to do it
