PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Yoenis Céspedes showed off impressive power and arm strength at his free-agent showcase on Tuesday, according to multiple people in attendance, as he looks to hook on with a team for 2021.

C¨¦spedes took batting practice and fielded fly balls for close to a dozen teams -- including the Blue Jays, Brewers, Rays, Tigers, Padres and White Sox -- at a Fort Pierce, Fla., field not far from his ranch. One talent evaluator noted that C¨¦spedes¡¯ power remains impressive at age 35, but that his outfield mobility is limited.

¡°He can go be someone¡¯s DH,¡± the scout said.

C¨¦spedes had been slated to serve as the Mets¡¯ primary designated hitter last season, but he appeared in only eight games before electing not to play the rest of the season. C¨¦spedes hit .161/.235/.387 with two home runs in those contests.

Working against C¨¦spedes is the fact that he has not played regularly in the Majors since May 2018. Two months later, C¨¦spedes announced that he needed multiple surgeries to remove calcification from both heels. During his subsequent recovery, C¨¦spedes suffered a setback when he fractured his right ankle in a ranch incident involving a wild boar.

From 2012-18, the Cuban defector established himself as one of the game¡¯s most feared sluggers, hitting 163 home runs with an .826 OPS. Seventeen of those homers came during a 31-game stretch late in 2015, after the Mets acquired him from the Tigers in a Trade Deadline deal. The Mets re-signed C¨¦spedes after the season, then re-upped him a second time when he opted out following the 2016 season. He subsequently signed a four-year, $110 million deal, which the Mets eventually restructured to remove significant guaranteed money following his ranch accident.

The Mets did not send a scout to C¨¦spedes¡¯ showcase.

Among the teams that did were the White Sox, who recently signed C¨¦spedes¡¯ 23-year-old half-brother, Yoelqui, to a $2.05 million deal. Before signing, Yoelqui C¨¦spedes spent time training with his brother, who bought him a home near his own on Florida¡¯s Treasure Coast.

¡°I think I¡¯m even more excited for him than I was when I first signed,¡± Yoenis C¨¦spedes said last year. ¡°I think at the age he is right now, and the resources, the conditions that he has to be able to play -- I think they¡¯re much better than what I had when I first signed. So I¡¯m really excited.¡±
