50 million sounds about right but indications are team is going to reduce payroll somewhat. They will need to spend 20-30 million just to get 2 decent starters and a couple of relievers. Not sure they can afford Cespedes even if he is willing to return. Mets will make big offer, among others.

By the way Tigers are starting Matt Boyd tonight, MLB debut. Hope they're not rushing him. He's not near as ready as Norris.
The mets will have t resign him by 3 days after the world series is over. Otherwise they can not resign him until may 15th 2016. its a clause in his contract that led to trading him to keep a better chance of signing him.
