The Mets have tried to keep the conversation going with Cespedes' representatives this offseason hoping to bring back the Cuban slugger. They can negotiate with him exclusively until Monday at 5 p.m. but Cespedes made this move to test the free agent market, so any attempt to get him back quickly would seem futile. The Mets will continue to try and bring him back, according to team sources, but they are not so sure the patient approach they took last winter is going to work this time.
