Yoenis Cespedes

Since Yoenis Cespedes and the New York Mets seem so right for one another, it's fitting they would agree to a contract that's so right for one another.

A reunion between Cespedes and the Mets was the big news coming off the hot stove Tuesday.

For the second year in a row, the New York Mets have reportedly re-signed Yoenis Cespedes, per Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal. 

To get Yoenis Cespedes in 2015, the New York Mets had to give up the guy who will probably be the American League's Rookie of the Year (Michael Fulmer). To keep Cespedes in 2016, the Mets had to offer him a three-year contract that also allowed him to make $27.5 million in one year and become a free agent.

But darn it, he's going to try.

A month ago, it looked like the defending World Series champions, the Kansas City Royals, were nothing more than an afterthought in the playoff picture. As we prepare to head into the final month of baseball's regular season, though, the Royals sit in the thick of the AL playoff race.

But Kansas City isn't the only team making noise. Has an untimely injury knocked a contender out of the running? Does a slugger's desire to stay with his current team mean that he will?

We'll hit on all that and more in this week's edition of Fact or Fiction. 

After leaving Saturday's contest against the Colorado Rockies in the sixth inning, New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes is not in the lineup Sunday due to a quad injury.
