Yoenis Cespedes: Signs w/ A's for 4/36

[jOOj]

I believe his saunter is fitting for both a superstar and/or an ultra flame out bust. So we're covered either way!

Adiós, Yoenis! Hasta pronto!

"Today I came away very impressed. Like I said before, it's my wish to be a Marlin. We'll see. Thank you fans for your support."

[Miamarlin21]

Still believe it's a fake. Not as fake as FakeSamson though.

### The Marlins took coveted Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes to lunch at Smith and Wollensky on Wednesday, and one oddity of the whole scene is that cameras were rolling.

The cameras weren’t from any local TV station. Instead, MLB was shooting it to have footage for Showtime’s reality series on the Marlins that will air this summer.

Showtime produced six episodes on the San Francisco Giants last summer – the first year the network produced this type of program, which is similar to HBO’s NFL training camp series, Hard Knocks.

A Marlins’ deal with Showtime hasn’t been finalized, but it is expected barring any unexpected glitches.

Cespedes has made clear he would love to play for the Marlins, but his agent will go through the process of eliciting bids from other teams, just in case another team makes a significantly higher offer. The Marlins' meeting with Cespedes went well, his agent told ESPN, adding that other teams are in the mix but declining to say if he has met with them. Cespedes is expected to return to the Dominican Republic this week.

Since he's so desperate to play in Miami, 6yrs/$24 million seems like a fair offer. If he presses for more, maybe we can name one of the guppies in the backstop aquariums in his honor.

lol... desperate

[Swifty]

Have to question how wise it is for him to come to the US, visit the Marlins and then leave the country.

Not that a prospective FA has to tour a team's facilities (since really, it's just the money, everything else is basically equal) but it does scream that this is where he wants to be.

[Miamarlin21]

Or he just wanted a free meal at Joe's Stone Crab.

[Ramp]

they didn't go to Joe's

fm21 has MH on ignore

[Omar]

Or be on Showtime

[TheMendozaLine]

I'm pretty sure he came just for the reflective vest.
