Mariners sign Cano to 10yr/$240 mill deal

[YouthofToday]

I'm still waiting to see when Rosenthal tweets that a mystery team is involved. Of course that would be us right?

Robinson Cano is never going to sign with Seattle. Jay Z created this entire scenario to bluff the Yankees into playing millions more and it blew up in his face because Jay Z horribly miscalculated how it would play out. Turns out the Mariners were serious, believed they sincerely had a shot at signing Cano, and made an outrageous offer. Backed against the wall Jay Z and Cano now have two choices: take the Mariners money and play in Seattle or go back to the Yankees with their tails between their legs and take Cashman's lower offer. 

 

I don't feel bad for the Mariners because they were naive to believe Cano was serious about playing there. What is sad about all of this is Scott Boras and the Yankees end up the winners.

I think Cano cares more about money than he does about playing for the Yankees. You would think he would have accepted their 7/168 offer if staying with them were his biggest concern. The word is that he wanted 10 years from the Mariners and they balked.

If you care about winning, you take the Yanks offer. If all you care about is $$$ you go to the M's. I think the M's know they have an outside chance and will have to grossly overpay to pry him from the Yanks.

You may be right, but it is still playing out.

Come on Arte, step up and offer Cano ten years, $100 million.

I am not sure what he cares more about but just accepting the first offer makes little sense especially when the team you play for, the Yanks, is involved in the talks.

And after all of that

Sure did a lousy job of breaking off those talks.

[bloodbrother]

From dead deal to done deal in a matter of hours. Hot stove is so funny

If his primary concern is money then he made a huge mistake by firing Scott Boras. 

[Troll Daddy]

The smart move would be to take the Yankees offer and stay in New York.

He also may be tired of all the drama in NewYork and believe that the Mariners are committed to winning.

[bloodbrother]

10yr/$240 mill. WOW

[jshep]

Sounds like 10/240

[Stradling]

Is it a done deal?

[Ohtaniland]

Heyman > Rosenthal.

[jshep]

Robinson Cano is a trader!

[Stradling]

Might want to change the thread title.

[bloodbrother]

Yep, edit the title. Mariners sign Cano to 10yr/$240 mill deal

Robinson Cano is a fuggin trader, go to Greedy-Attle, we dont even need u, we are strong warriors, Whats ur fav supermarket, Trader Cano's?

[NJHalo]

10/240?

 

What kind of an ass would give that kind of a contract to a 31 year old Dominican

[Stradling]

Are all Adams butt hurt prima Dona's?

[Glen]

AO can relax!

[bloodbrother]

Oh btw, this deal now puts another 2B on the market available for trade. With Cano in town, Nick Franklin is now likely being shopped, so now the Halos have to deal with that. Franklin younger and cheaper as well so probably more enticing to teams
