BREAKING: Yoenis Cespedes wants to return to MLB in 2025, but declares ONLY his Mets reunion desires

Yoenis Cespedes is pining for a Mets reunion.

The former big league outfielder expressed his desire to play in Queens once again during a live stream from the Instagram account NYM_news on Wednesday.

“I’m ready to play but just for the Mets,” Cespedes wrote from his official Instagram account.

The Cuba native has been out of the majors since opting out of the 2020 season — after he played eight games — with the Mets due to COVID-19 concerns.

At the time, sources told The Post that Cespedes partly stepped away from the team out of frustration with a lack of playing time that prevented him from reaching lucrative performance bonuses.

In 2021, Cespedes attempted a comeback, holding a showcase in Fort Pierce, Fla. that 11 teams attended, and briefly spoke with the Mets about a potential reunion, although talks fell apart when the outfielder reportedly claimed he was unwilling to play in the minors.

Cespedes, 39, has been out of professional baseball entirely since 2022-23 when he played for Águilas Cibaeñas in the Dominican Winter League.

The Mets traded for Cespedes at the 2015 MLB trade deadline in exchange for pitchers Michael Fulmer and Luis Cessa.

Before the 2017 season, Cespedes signed a four-year, $110 million deal with the Mets.

Injuries, including separate surgeries to remove calcifications from both heels, which hampered him over the latter years with the Mets, playing in just 127 games from 2017-20.

During five total seasons in the orange and blue, Cespedes hit .279/.344/.539 with 76 home runs and 205 RBIs, including making the National League All-Star team and finishing 8th in NL MVP voting in 2016.

Cespedes played eight total seasons in the majors in stints with the A’s, Red Sox and Tigers, in addition to the Mets, after defecting from Cuba in 2011.
