"Yoenis Cespedes wore a construction hat when given a tour of Marlins Park on Wednesday. The Marlins are hoping the next time he shows up he will be wearing one of their batting helmets.

"It's just the first step in the process," said Adam Katz, the player's agent, after completing a 40-minute tour of the Little Havana ballpark."
