Cuban center fielder Yoenis Cespedes, who defected this past summer, expects to be cleared for free agency soon.
Cespedes is being billed by his agents as the hitting version of Aroldis Chapman and they are seeking a contract similar to the $30 million the left-handed pitcher received in 2010, according to two sources.
His handlers produced a strange promotional video that starts with a "Star Wars" rip-off and includes Christopher Cross' 1980 hit "Sailing."
It shows Cespedes giving what could be the longest stare at a home run ever and making two blind, behind-the-back catches. It name-drops Ahman Green, showcases a giant shirtless man dancing and ends with a whole hog roasting on a spit.
