This is why he'll be wearing an Angels or some other team uni in 2016. 5-6 years won't get it done. Why would any agent agree to a contract that sees their client's deal end when their client will be in their mid 30's and most likely unable to sign another lucrative contract? Especially when there will be some stupid, rich owner out there willing to go 8-10 years?

Gotta hand it to the Cubs- they've covered Joe Maddon's salary by getting players into the fold much cheaper than what the market would suggest. The Mets don't have that appeal. Hence, they better pony up the years and the dough if they want Cespedes on the roster.

Better to lay out the tall cash than try and pinch nickels with another Cuddyer type signing IMO. Signing mediocre players is a bad move at any price.
