Suffice it to say, Yoenis Cespedes at spring training is absolutely must-watch stuff. The guy has a car for every day of the week, randomly rides a horse — it’s unprecedented blog material.
Today’s update, however, is a bit of a sad one.
On Saturday, the slugger dropped $7,000 on a pig at the St. Lucie County Fair and initially had no plans to slaughter it:

But it turns out the 275-pound big was going to die either way — but by a professional, not Yo himself:
Was told Cespedes had no plans to kill pig. The spokesperson said today he had no plans to kill it himself. Pig is at the butchers. #Mets

Smart move here. The last thing everyone needs is PETA dropping the morality hammer on the MLB’s most interesting man.
