Yoenis Cespedes was traded to the New York Mets today (July 31), according to ESPN.
The outfielder is being traded from the Detroit Tigers, but also played for the Boston Red Sox and the Oakland Athletics in the span of two years.
The Mets will absorb the remainder of the Roc Nation Sports athlete’s contract, $3.7 million. In exchange, the Tigers receive two minor league pitchers.
Cespedes joined Jay Z’s Roc Nation Sports in October of 2014.

[Intro]
Just let me great, just let me great
I feel like mothafuckin’ Cassius Clay right now, Genius!
Don’t be good my nigga, be great
After that government cheese, we eating steak
After the projects, now we on estates
I’m from the bottom, I know y’all can relate
[Hook]
Fuck up the world
Let’s fuck up this world
Fuck up the world
Me and destiny got a date
[Verse 1]
Martin had a dream, Hov gotta team
My chain already heavy, don’t let me get a ring
Parades down Flatbush, Confetti on my fur
Turn right on Red Hook, niggas heavy on the curve
See most of my niggas died early twenties or late teens
I’m just trying to come from under the thumb of this regime
1% of a billion more then niggas even seen
Still they wanna act like it’s an everyday thing, clean
