Leaves WBC for personal reasons
Cespedes has left Team Cuba in the World Baseball Classic for personal reasons, the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
The former MLB slugger did not play in the last two games of the first round of the tournament, and went hitless in the two games he did play in. The 37-year-old could rejoin the team for the quarterfinal in Miami, but few specifics have been released as to why he's left the club or when he'll rejoin.

Cespedes' 2020 campaign came to a bizarre close when he did not report for the Mets' Aug. 2 contest without first informing the team of his decision to opt out of the season. In the short time he was on the field, Cespedes showed the ability to make hard contact. He posted a .226 ISO, 12.5% barrel rate and 43.8% hard-hit rate across 24 plate appearances -- each of which fell in line with his career norm. On the other hand, his strikeout rate shot up to 44% as compared to a 21.3% career rate and a 31.8% clip in 2018. Cespedes is a free agent after a messy parting of ways with the Mets. He would benefit from the continued presence of the designated hitter in the National League, though it's unclear how many teams will be in strong pursuit of his services. His path to regular at-bats will likely be quite narrow.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Showcase attended by 11 teams
Cespedes had 11 teams attend his showcase in Florida on Tuesday, Ken Davidoff of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The 35-year-old reportedly looked good at the plate and in left field with representatives from the Yankees, Blue Jays, Brewers, Marlins, Rays, Tigers, Cubs, Reds, White Sox, Padres and Rays in attendance. Cespedes appeared in only 46 games over the past three seasons for the Mets and abruptly opted out of the 2020 campaign after eight games. The veteran slugger seems more suited for a job in the American League due to the designated hitter, but there was still plenty of interest from clubs in the National League.
