PT TOMORROW: NL East—Will Cespedes be back with Mets?

New York Mets

The Mets will have some tough decisions to make this winter. Chief among them will be whether or not to try to re-sign Yoenis Céspedes (OF, NYM) and Daniel Murphy (2B/3B, NYM).

Cespedes will no doubt command a monster salary, so it’s possible that the Mets could be priced out of his market. If they’re unable to retain him, Michael Conforto (OF, NYM) would be the prime in-house candidate to replace him. Conforto, who entered the season ranked by BaseballHQ.com as the team’s sixth best prospect, has done a terrific job in his first taste of the majors. If Cespedes sticks with the Mets, Juan Lagares (OF, NYM) could find himself relegated to the wrong side of a platoon (.287 OBP and .606 OPS in 895 career AB vs. RHP; .324 OBP...
