Mets Acquire Yoenis Cespedes

The Mets announced that they have acquired OF Yoenis Cespedes from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for minor league pitchers Michael Fulmer and Luis Cessa. Cespedes is having a great year hitting .293 with 18 homers and 61 RBIs. This is a huge trade since Sandy Alderson needed to make a move to upgrade the offense after failing to get Carlos Gomez. Cespedes will add power to a lineup that already has Lucas Duda, Curtis Granderson, and Travis d'Arnaud returning tonight. Hopefully this will be the move that will help the Mets overtake the Nationals and win the division.
