Former Mets star lists $30M ranch where now-infamous 'wild boar' injury took place
Former outfielder Yoenis Cespedes hasn't played in the MLB for five years and is now ready to let go of his massive mansion in Port St. Lucie, Florida - at the price of $30million.
Sitting on 400 acres, Cespedes' sprawling home features creature comforts and lavish luxuries.
However, Mets fans will remember this house as the site of a well-publicized run-in with a wild boar that led to the star missing playing time.
Called 'La Potencia II' (translated to 'The Power'), the 16,000-square-foot main residence features six bedrooms and five bathrooms.
Additionally, on the inside, you'll find a massive main living room with a fire place, a massive eat-in kitchen, a games room with a pool table, and an extravagant all-glass wine room next to an ornate bar.
Multiple other living rooms are dotted throughout the residence - which also features the likes of walk-in closets and elegant bathrooms.
Outside, there's a gorgeous patio - complete with its own kitchen, eating space, and a wet bar.
There's also a decadent heated pool - with a separate hot tub and an attached water feature.
But there's also plenty of features that indicate this was the home of a professional athlete. Not only is there a stocked barber shop, there's also a well-equipped gym as well as a separate batting cage.
Finally, when you step out of the enclosure, you'll find a stable for 12 horses as well as a training facility for the equine creatures attached to the property.
Of course, Mets fans remember this mansion as the site of an infamous injury that Cespedes sustained from a 'wild boar' in 2019.
While the Mets general manager at the time said that Cespedes sustained a broken ankle in a 'violent fall', it was later reported that the two-time All-Star actually had a run-in with the wild animal.
Cespedes tried mounting an MLB comeback in 2024, but that was unsuccessful. The 39-year-old won a Gold Glove award, a Silver Slugger award, and two Home Run Derby competitions throughout his eight year career in the majors.

Caitlin Clark gets ultimate revenge on coach who snubbed her for Olympics spot in unprecedented WNBA All-Star move
WNBA fans were left stunned as Caitlin Clark orchestrated a never-seen-before move in the All-Star draft and traded her coach Cheryl Reeve. The Indiana Fever star has been selected as one of the captains for this year's All-Star game, where she'll take on Napheesa Collier and her hand-picked side. The two WNBA stars joined ESPN to take part in the captain's draft on Tuesday night and, shortly after they had made their picks, Clark announced the stunning trade. ESPN host Malika Andrews asked whether either captain wanted to suggest a trade - for either starters or reserves - before Clark interjected. Speaking on ESPN, the Fever star said: 'To be completely honest, I love my team. I don't have any intention of trading any of them. 'I don't know if this is in the rules - and I don't really care - but we've already discussed that we're going to trade coaches. 'Phee [Napheesa] is going to take her coach [Cheryl Reeve]. Sandy Brondello, let's get it! Sorry ESPN if it's not in the rules but we just made it a rule'. Andrews then announced: 'We have breaking news here! I don't know if I've heard of a coach being traded in an All-Star game! This is something you're agreeing to Phee?' Collier replied: 'I agree with the trade! I love Cheryl, she's my coach here [at the Minnesota Lynx]. That's just going to be worse for Team Clark because now we've got more chemistry on our side. 'That was a bad move on your part Caitlin! We're taking you down'. WNBA fans on social media were quick to note the previous conflict between Clark and Reeve - which began after the Clark was snubbed of an Olympic spot last year. Fans quickly suggested that Clark was the mastermind behind the trade as they responded to the stunning moment on social media. One user on X wrote: 'The BEST trade ever by Caitlin Clark!' Another said: 'Love it! CC said you can keep Cheryl over there, Phee. Sandy got more swag'. Fans were quick to praise the trade and suggest that Clark was the mastermind behind it Clark is set to from a groin injury and play for the Indiana Fever after missing five games Noting the fractured relationship between Clark and Reeve, one fan said: 'That CC and Reeves combo was never gonna work'. Last summer, Clark missed out on the 12-player squad for the Summer Olympics in the Paris, despite being the WNBA's No. 1 Draft pick at the time. Just last month, Reeve faced calls to resign over a 'stunningly bad' conflict of interest involving WNBA superstar Clark. In a remarkable set of resurfaced tweets, highlighted by reporter Christine Brennan, Reeve appeared to take aim at Clark, who has become the face of the WNBA in recent years. In May 2024, Reeve appeared to take issue with the amount of TV time given to Clark and the Indiana Fever when she wrote 'The W is more than one player'. Given Reeve's role as head coach of Team USA, a conflict of interest issue has been raised by some, after Clark was not chosen to represent her country at the Olympics.

Colt Keith drives in 3 as Tigers nip Rays to win 5th straight
July 9 - Colt Keith hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the seventh and the host Detroit Tigers stretched their winning streak to five games with a 4-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night. Keith also had an RBI single for Detroit, which will go for a three-game sweep Wednesday afternoon. Spencer Torkelson homered for the other Tigers run. Starting pitcher Jack Flaherty gave up two runs in 6 1/3 innings and struck out eight. Tommy Kahnle (1-1) got two outs and picked up the win. Will Vest struck out three in the ninth for his 15th save. Rays starter Ryan Pepiot gave up two runs in six innings with six strikeouts. Jonathan Aranda homered and scored both Rays runs. Aranda gave the Rays an early lead as the second batter of the game, lifting a Flaherty fastball over the right field wall for his 11th homer. Tampa Bay had two on and no one out in the second, but Flaherty escaped that jam. He wasn't so fortunate in the third, as Aranda smacked a one-out double and Josh Lowe brought him home with a two-out single. Detroit stranded two baserunners in the bottom of the inning but didn't have a hit until Torkelson clubbed his 21st homer with one out in the fourth. He took advantage of a hanging Pepiot slider. The Tigers tied it at 2 in the fifth. Zach McKinstry walked and stole second before Matt Vierling was hit by a pitch for the second time in the contest. One out later, Keith knocked in McKinstry with a single, but Vierling was caught in a rundown on the play. The Tigers took the lead in the seventh. McKinstry walked and stole second once again before Keith's two-out, two-run shot off Edwin Uceta (5-2). Keith mashed a changeup over the right field wall. Detroit loaded the bases against Eric Orze in the eighth on two walks and a hit by pitch, but Orze struck out McKinstry and Vierling to leave the runners stranded. --Field Level Media
