At the moment, the Mets are in the middle of a tightly contested Wild Card and divisional races. They're 2.0 games behind the S.F. Giants for the second National League Wild Card spot, and 3.0 games behind the Washington Nationals for first place in the NL East. Tonight, they begin an all-important 3-game series with the Nats in D.C. They'll be hoping Cespedes can catch a flight to D.C. as soon as he possibly can.
