NEW YORK (AP) A person familiar with the deal says free agent outfielder Yoenis Cespedes and the New York Mets have agreed to a three-year deal for $75 million.

The slugger, who joined the Mets last July and helped lead them to the World Series, can opt out of the contract after one season and make it worth $27.5 million.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal was still pending a physical. Other media outlets reported the terms earlier Friday night.
