Robinson Cano says he never asked for $300 million

 

The difference between mice and men.  Or in this case between Jay Z and Boras.  

[Angel Oracle]

Jay Z makes Boras look like Coach Wooden.

He won't last long as an agent.

[eligrba]

Artie....NO!!

 

Look away.....Pitching, we need Pitching.

[Brandon]

yes he will. too many ties and opportunities that athletes are interested in. a while back I read an article about the infrastructure or leap he made and he has pulled some good talent from other sports agencies to assemble teams for the athletes.

[Stradling]

I want Boras as my agent, sadly he would realize I am over paid and I would be stuck with Jody Reed's agent.

Cano turned down a 7-year contract worth 168 million so he might as well be asking for 300 million.

At least he's smart enough then to not take it all on himself. That's a solid first step.

he didn't ask for 300 mil. 

 

he asked for 310 mil.

[Agalloch]

he asked for 310 mil.

 

Exactly what I thought upon reading this.

This deserves at least a golf clap.

He's extremely savvy, not just a rapper. I'm surprised that many don't know he is a higher up, I believe COO, of one of the biggest record labels....Def Jam. Aside from many successful business ventures like a clothing line and minority owner of the Nets.

Cano Asking Yankees For Nine Years, $250-$260MM

By Aaron Steen [November 30 at 8:18pm CST]

Robinson Cano requested a nine-year deal in the $250-$260MM range in his most recent offer to the Yankees, a source tells Ken Davidoff of the New York Post. The offer came in a meeting last week.

 

The Yankees have reportedly offered Cano a deal in the range of seven years and $168MM, which Davidoff notes would still make the second baseman among the highest-paid players in baseball. In addition, a second source says the much-discussed 10-year, $310MM offer floated by Cano's camp hasn't been in play since Cano became a free agent. Nevertheless, the two sides presently appear to be approximately $100MM apart. The Yankees are scheduled to meet again with Cano, who is represented by Jay-Z and CAA's Brodie Van Wagenen, on Monday.

 

Davidoff writes that the Yankees maintain they won't wait for Cano as they hold discussions with free agents such as Carlos Beltran, Shin-Soo Choo, Jacoby Ellsbury and Stephen Drew. The team also remains interested in Japanese pitcher Masahiro Tanaka. If the Yankees hit their budget limit without signing Cano, club officials say, they'll either move on or force Cano to agree to a much smaller deal than what's now under discussion.

 

Other potential destinations include the Tigers, the Mariners, the Rangers and the Nationals, and the Mets have met with Cano's representatives, Davidoff writes. However, he adds that no teams have publicly indicated significant interest in the infielder.

According to an article I just read on Fox Sports, he is willing to settle for just under $260M. What a bargain.

Report: Yankees sit down with Cano's agents, remain far apart

If the Yankees don't sign him where does he end up? Seattle?

Ask AO.

[Angelsjunky]

What about the Dodgers? They've already got a massive payroll but seemingly don't mind. Replacing Mark Ellis--who is underrated, I think, but is going to be 37--will add 3-5 wins, which is a pretty sizable upgrade.

 

I think the Yankees will end up signing him, that it will be something like 8/$220MM, possibly with a 9th year option.

He's also the face of Camel cigarettes.
