First, Yoenis Céspedes could not be found. Then, he was safe. Then, he had opted out of the 2020 season over COVID-19 concerns, ending a swirling saga with the New York Mets.
The story is, the New York Mets sent security personnel to an Atlanta hotel on Sunday afternoon, to a particular room, and had them open the door.Sometime later, continues the story, after Céspedes had been absent from Sunday morning meetings at the hotel, a bus to the ballpark, pregame preparations there and then an actual baseball game, they learned why.
Whatever is to come of the Mets and life in the porous bubble that is baseball in 2020, Céspedes had seen enough of at least one and maybe both of those. The Mets responded initially — mid-game — with a statement wondering where Céspedes was and why he wasn’t answering his phone, then a few minutes later made sure reporters knew that they knew Céspedes was unharmed.
“Look, first off, we support everybody’s, and every player’s, right to make this type of decision,” Van Wagenen said. “This is a challenging time for everyone. And so we will support him in that decision. It was surprising without question.”
