Yoenis Cespedes plans to opt out of his contract with the New York Mets, leaving two years and $47.5 million on the table, according to sources.
The Mets expect Cespedes to seek a five-year deal and are pessimistic about their chances of re-signing him.
New York does plan to make a one-year, $17.2 million qualifying offer to Cespedes after he opts out.
