Think of Yoenis Cespedes as baseball’s version of Powerball. The odds are not in favor of the Mets hitting the free-agent jackpot, but there remains hope all the numbers somehow will fall into place.

Cespedes is currently weighing the Orioles’ offer of five years at $90 million, with a possible option year. The Orioles need to come up with a big bat because they have been unable to re-sign Chris Davis.

The Mets are monitoring the situation closely, but do not have a one-year offer on the table. According to multiple sources, the Mets continue to look at one- to three-year scenarios with Cespedes. The Mets would be willing to go three years for about $60 million.

If for some reason Cespedes does not take the Orioles’ deal, and wants to bet on himself on a one-year deal with the hopes of hitting it even bigger as a free agent among next season’s weaker class, the Mets would be more than happy to sign him to a one-year deal in the $18 million-to-$22 million range.

But, again: There is no one-year deal on the table.

The Orioles, for their part, know losing Nelson Cruz to the Mariners last season was a terrible blow and basically doomed them in the power-packed AL East. They are trying to jack up their lineup again. Though the righty-swinging Cespedes doesn’t provide lefty balance, he slammed 35 home runs last season — 17 with the Mets — and playing 81 games at Camden Yards is a power hitter’s delight.

In 57 games with the Mets, Cespedes also posted 44 RBIs and a .942 OPS. Those are winning numbers, especially with the powerful young Mets pitching staff that took the team all the way to the World Series.
