Terry Collins wants to manage for only a few years

On July 24, the Mets were 49-48, three games behind the Washington Nationals for first place in the NL East.

A midseason acquisition by New York from the Detroit Tigers, Cespedes went on a power tear after joining the Mets.

Yoenis Cespedies won’t have to attach a new shoulder to be ready for the World Series.

Regardless of who they meet in the World Series, the Mets will need every offensive source availabie to compete.

Mets right fielder Yoenis Cespedes didn’t participate in Friday’s voluntary workout at Citi Field.

Collins said the fact Uribe has two World Series rings can’t be overlooked.

Who do you have winning the 2015 World Series? Despite Daniel Murphy’s historic postseason, Cespedes is still the most important of those piece.

“Even if I’m not fully 100%, I would still just want to play (outfield). And honestly, if I really truly didn’t feel 100 percent I would not have a problem just stepping down and saying I can’t play”, he said. The Mets will begin the World Series on Tuesday against the victor of the ALCS between Kansas City Royals and the Toronto Blue Jays.

“I’m excited to go to spring training and get a fresh start with the team and be with these guys for a whole year and not have to worry about trade talks”.

“The general response I got: There’s nothing you can do about it, no matter how hard you try – pipe in loud noise, try to have simulated games”, Collins said. Cespedes helped take a few pressure of hitters like Curtis Granderson and David Wright. “But I think we’ve proven to ourselves that the result ends up pretty good when we could do it”. Before going down with a season ending injury in game 2 of the NLDS against the Dodgers, he was one of those players that Collins always had in his corner. “I don’t feel like I’m part of the game, like I truly contribute or like I’m playing”. Minor league pitchers Michael Fulmer, Luis Cessa, and Jairo Labourt will all need to be put on the 40-man to protect them from the Rule 5 draft, and we could potentially see players like Edgar De La Rosa or Johan Belisario added as well. “The one thing I said when I took this job, I was going to enjoy managing a lot more than I did in the past”.
