While perhaps the top MLB free agent re-signed with the New York Mets Nov. 29, a more instructive signing came a few hours later.
Yoenis Cespedes, who the Orioles toyed with just before Chris Davis re-upped last January, is returning to the Mets on a four-year, $110 million contract. That may be this offseason's biggest deal.
The Orioles weren't going to be in the Cespedes game this time around, but some had hoped Jon Jay, who signed a one-year, $8 million deal with the Chicago Cubs, could have come to Baltimore.
