The CANO Thread

Hope Cano enjoyed the level of talent around him last year, that's the best he will ever get in Seattle. Best of luck Robbie, I hope last place in AL west for the rest of your career is worth the money.

 

I still think he stays with the Yanks.

 

With the Yanks giving Ellsbury 153, I don't see why they are unwilling to give Cano 220.

The Ellsbury deal is just fucking historical. Worse contract than Crawford.

 

I think it's better than Crawford if he stays on the field

 

Cano is on his way to Seattle in a private jet to meet agent Jay Z and the Seattle Mariners. Even if he ends up going back to the Yanks, I love all this stuff. Best off season of all sports.

 

real talk...an extra 50M? if it were me in his shoes, yeh i'd sit in last place for the rest of my career for an extra 50M, but i'll be in 1st place at your local bank. Cano already has a championship ring.

 

agreed. at least Crawford was 28 years old when he inked his deal. Ellsbury is already 30

 

I know money is always important with these guys, but Seattle? How lame.

 

I just don't see him going to Seattle without their GM telling him something else is going to be done. They have a lot of appealing pieces down on the farm they could move. Maybe they do a Walker centered deal for Price and a Miller/Franklin centered one for Ethier/Kemp. Cano won't sign somewhere knowing his protection in the line up is going to be Kyle Seager.

 

Sell yourself short I guess, titles and superstar status in NY will be worth far more than than 50 million dollars ten years from now. With jeter on the way out and cano's bright smile endorsement deals will be lucrative. Why do you think jeter has never had a problem with arod making more than him his entire career? Because at the end of the day jeters face is everywhere and he collects more money. Arods face is only attached to drama, even without the steroids. If Cano goes to Seattle he will be forgotten before he retires. How many casual fans do you think know much about one of the best pitchers in baseball already on that roster? I bet Felix walks around unrecognized more often than not....even in Seattle.

Jayz once said he made the Yankee hat more popular than a Yankee can. Prove it, do it with a mariners hat bro

 

The Mariners are plain ole stupid with no idea of how to build. They have a sub par system because the outgoing CEO keeps churning crap GM's like butter.

They have no current team President that gives a shit so perhaps they'll offer a ton of money to a baseball guy like Gillick or Larussa. Or even Hunsicker, but until they get baseball men running the franchise they're screwed.

The owner loves to have two high profile players. So he'll have Felix and Cano, while Iwakuma (like Ichiro) fuels the Japanese interest.


Hey Seattle. We have a GM that would be a perfect team president.

PLEASE CALL NED COLLETTI. He knows how to 'pick' talent like no one else in MLB!

 

dude, Cano's already 31 years old and a much young Jeter won hearts over in NY because he was the captain on 4 championship teams early in his career. there's zero guarantee that Cano wins as much as Jeter. winning is the name of the game with NYY...hell, their attendance suffered last year with Cano leading the charge. an extra 50M is sitting on the table, guaranteed...i'd grab it and roll the biggest legalized blunt of all time in my Seattle mansion if i were Cano.

fuck the Yankees and fuck NY...if they want " me "...match Seattle. otherwise, they could get outta my face with all that endorsement talk...he can get endorsements in Seattle...ever hear of a guy named Junior Griffey? plus Seattle is a 2 sport town...1 of which the players where helmets and are naturally more unknown than NBA/MLB stars. Cano would go to Seattle and be the biggest star in a pretty good sized market, so lets not act like Cano would be going to some shit place like Cleveland. if NY is so big and bad...match Seattle. simple.

 

cleveland won 92 games last year, could sign cano and use kipnis as trade bait, probably winning the division next year. ever hear of Larry Doby? if cano who was named after jackie robinson knows his baseball, he might be inclined to follow in the footsteps of baseballs second black man and first in the AL, the dodgers as number 1 arent interested in his services.

 

Let's see Cano's homers drop like crazy in that ballpark.

I don't think 15 bombs would be out of the realm of possibility.

 

Yankees stadium 9th most homer friendly, Seattle 21st.

 

The mariners might have but their park was 21st.

 

The Mariners have made an offer of 9 years at $225,000,000. That is an AAV of 25 mil a year through his age 40 season.
