Former Mets star lists $30M ranch where now-infamous 'wild boar' injury took place

Former Mets star lists $30M ranch where now-infamous 'wild boar' injury took place

Daily Mail​08-07-2025
After officially retiring from his baseball playing days, a former New York Mets star is selling his mega mansion that was built around the corner from the team's spring training base.
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.

Tobey Maguire and ex Jennifer Meyer 'still dealing with child custody issues'... 9 years after splitting

Tobey Maguire and his ex-wife Jennifer Meyer are still sorting their custody issues five years after they finalized their divorce. The Spider-Man actor, 50, and his former spouse, 48, share 16-year-old son Otis Tobias and 18-year-old Ruby Sweetheart. Maguire is asking for joint legal and physical custody of his son Otis in response to his ex's initial divorce filing from October 2020, according to documents obtained by People. He also asked that child support be determined through private mediation. Jennifer and Tobey met in 2003 while he was shooting Seabiscuit. They were engaged three years later, and welcomed their daughter Ruby in November 2006. They went on to marry the following year, and welcomed their second child, Otis, in 2009. The Hollywood power couple split in 2016 and filed for divorce in 2020. Their 2016 statement on their split mentioned their children. 'After much soul searching and consideration we have made the decision to separate as a couple,' they began. 'As devoted parents, our first priority remains raising our children together with enduring love, respect and friendship.' Tobey appears to be single while Jennifer is engaged to billionaire heir Geoffrey Ogunlesi, the son of Nigerian billionaire lawyer and investment banker Adebayo Ogunlesi. Maguire and Meyer reunited last month for Ruby's high school graduation. 'Congratulations Ruby!!!!! ♥️ Graduate of our dreams. We are so proud of you in every way. We love love love love love you baby ♥️' Meyer wrote in the caption. In December, Jennifer was spotted with her fiance and her son during a rare outing together. The trio were seen shopping for a Christmas tree. Jennifer and Geoffrey became engaged in September. 'YES!!!' the mom-of-two wrote in the caption of the Instagram snap, along with a black heart emoji, the infinity symbol, and sparkling stars emoji. Jennifer, whose best pals are Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox, and Geoffrey went red carpet official in November 2023, after dating for several months. Jen is the daughter Ron Meyer, the cofounder of CAA, and former executive at NBC, COO/President of Universal. Meanwhile Tobey was spotted getting cozy with 22-year-old Danish model Mona Tougaard a month after Meyer announced her engagement. Last summer he was linked to a string of young ladies while vacationing in Europe and New York City. Meyer has credited 'angel' Gwyneth Paltrow for her amicable divorce from the actor. Paltrow, 51 was widely ridiculed for announcing her divorce from Coldplay star Chris Martin, 47, as a 'conscious uncoupling' in 2014. But Meyer said the actress' amicable split helped her navigate her own divorce from Maguire. Speaking on the Broad Ideas podcast, jewelry designer Meyer said: 'Right when Tobey and I were starting to break up, I watched what Gwyneth Paltrow was starting to do with Chris — this conscious uncoupling that everyone was making fun of.' 'I got to see it firsthand, and it was the most beautiful thing that I had ever witnessed two human beings go through. She was so loving and kind and open to him and she created this family.' 'I was like, 'Wow, that's not what I was taught growing up. I was taught that divorce was ugly … bad and would never be good.'' Meyer asked Paltrow: 'How did you do that? Please, what do I do? Because we're just starting to break up, and it's feeling very scary. … How can we come together for [these] human[s] we both created that we love? What do we do?' Meyer added that Paltrow introduced her to Dr. Habib Sadeghi: 'She didn't tell me their process, she didn't tell me anything.' Meyer said she had 'hit the jackpot of ex-husbands' with Maguire and added the pair were still 'best friends' years after their divorce.

John Krasinski to write, direct, produce 'A Quiet Place Part III'

John Krasinski is returning to direct, write and produce ' A Quiet Place Part III.' The film has been set for a July 9, 2027 theatrical release, Paramount Pictures said Friday. The first film, released in 2018, was a box-office smash, earning some $341 million worldwide on a budget of only $17 million. It also established Krasinski, who starred alongside his wife Emily Blunt in the post-apocalyptic horror, as a bankable filmmaker. He returned to write and direct 'A Quiet Place Part II," the release of which was delayed over a year due to the pandemic. The franchise also expanded to include a prequel, 'A Quiet Place: Day One.' Krasinski produced but handed over the reins to filmmaker Michael Sarnoski. In total, the three films have grossed over $892 million. Krasinski on Friday posted a graphic with the numeral 'III' and the release date on Instagram. No other details about cast or story were immediately available.

GK Matt Turner returns to Revolution on loan

August 1 - U.S. men's national team goalkeeper Matt Turner is returning to the New England Revolution on loan from French Ligue 1 club Olympique Lyonnais. Turner, the 2021 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year, recorded 22 clean sheets in 102 MLS starts for the Revolution from 2018-22. He was also named an MLS All-Star and made the MLS Best XI in 2021. "It is a privilege to return to the club that launched my career," Turner said. "The club that helped me discover who I am as a professional, the club that has always felt like a home away from home. "To have the chance to play in front of the Revolution supporters once again is a priceless feeling and one I've never taken for granted. My family and I have felt their unwavering support throughout these last three years, and I can't wait to wear the Revolution crest again at Gillette Stadium." The loan from Lyon runs through June 30, 2026 and includes an option to purchase. Turner, 31, will fill a designated player spot on the Revs' roster for the remainder of the 2025 season and then will become a TAM-eligible (targeted allocation money) player in 2026. "When the opportunity arose to bring Matt Turner back to the Revolution, we were glad to act swiftly to welcome one of the most talented players ever to represent the club," sporting director Curt Onalfo said. "Matt's talent and leadership will make our squad stronger now and in the future. We look forward to having Matt and his family back in New England." Turner left New England in February 2022 to join Premier League side Arsenal for a reported $6 million transfer fee. He moved to Nottingham Forest in 2023 and went on loan to Crystal Palace in 2024. He joined Lyon this summer in advance of the 2025-26 season. Turner has earned 52 caps with the USMNT, serving as the starter for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and winning titles at the CONCACAF Gold Cup in 2021 and CONCACAF Nations League in 2022-23 and 2023-24. Slovenia's Aljaz Ivacic, 31, has been New England's primary goalkeeper this season, recording eight clean sheets in 24 starts. The Revolution (6-11-7, 25 points) are currently 11th in the MLS Eastern Conference, 10 points out of the playoff picture. --Field Level Media
