On Sunday, Mets star Yoenis Cespedes didn’t answer to Truist Park for a game against the Braves and his group didn’t have the foggiest idea where he was, It said in an announcement.
Afterward, a few journalists covering the Mets refered to a source revealing to them that they had no motivation to accept he wasn’t protected, however the 34-year-old’s whereabouts despite everything hadn’t been uncovered.
At last, Mets senior supervisor Brodie Van Wagenen advised correspondents that Cespedes was intending to quit the season due to COVID-19 reasons.
Be that as it may, before Van Wagenen’s declaration, everybody in sports sought Cespedes was OK and after a perfect goal to the disturbing circumstance.
It made one wonder: What might occur if a Yankees player abruptly simply didn’t show up for a game and the group couldn’t get in touch with him?
“We try to get to the bottom of it,” supervisor Aaron Boone said on a video call with columnists before confronting the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium on Sunday.
Boone said his originally thought is trust that the player was OK.
“That’s the bottom line,” he said. “That’s potentially a bigger situation than baseball. So, you hope he’s all right.”
At that point, the group would go all out to decide the player’s prosperity.
“But if ever anything like that happened with us,” Boone said, “we’d use all our resources to try to get to the bottom of it and find out and see why, where and when, and all those things. Hopefully be able to correct the situation.”
Before, players have had issues where maybe they couldn’t go to a specific day’s down or where they would be late. In any case, how accomplishes that work? Would they call Boone to tell him? Possibly Yankees head supervisor Brian Cashman?
“Typically, if something comes up — yeah, every now and then a situation arises at home or whatever it may be where a guy is going to be late,” Boone said. “They’ll reach out to me or the organization.”
On Sunday, the Mets had supplanted Cespedes at assigned hitter with J.D. Davis.
It wasn’t clear when precisely the Mets decided Cespedes was a flake-out and couldn’t be reached.
