Re: Robinson Cano Seattle Mariners jerseys on sale already

When he signed that contract winning wasnt his first priority it was 100% money. I'm not a Mariners fan (other than liking their jerseys) but who's to say they aren't going to be contenders. Look at the A's and the Pirates, they were once the RAC of the league but now they are true contenders.

Then again if everyone just assumes the team is going to suck no matter what he's making a ton of money with no pressure to win.

When talking about the kind of money these guys make, I would have taken the Yankees deal and played for a team that has a better chance winning championships!

Not to mention the money he could have made in enforcement deals being one of the faces of the Yankees.

However, guess you can't leave 90 million on the table (70 million in Salary and another 20 million in taxes)

Re: Robinson Cano Seattle Mariners jerseys on sale already

I cannot believe you blame him for signing this contract. $24 million a year for a decade? He has been a part of numerous great teams but that kind of money to play a child's game? How can you be mad? Who the hell wouldn't sign that deal?

You can pencil in Willie Bloomquist in that lineup as well. I have a feeling Seattle is not finished spending. They only have 2 players signed beyond 2014 (Felix and Cano) for like 50 million. They have some good trade chips as well.

Honestly I would take the Yankees offer instead of going to the M's but that's just me.

Re: Robinson Cano Seattle Mariners jerseys on sale already

When we say "who would have left $70million on the table" remember he was offered $170million by the Yankees. What is he going to do with the extra $70million he can't do with the $175million? With that kind of money you have to hunt up ways to spend it. Unless he plans to start a charity to feed the starving people in this world he'll never have a need for all that extra money. As someone said, "How many yachts can you water ski behind at one time?" Most people in this country will be hard pressed to make a million in their entire lifetime. If someone wins a lottery of $5million that's a big deal, which is about a 5th of what Cano will earn each and every year. Obviously he has the right to play anywhere he wants for whatever he can get. But I often wonder how much of it is ego? Pujols signed with the Angels for a few million more a year than St Louis offered him. The St Louis fans loved him. Do you think he is happier now with the Angels and his extra millions than he was in St Louis?

Cano never hit 20 hr's in a season until the new Yankee Stadium was built. That short right porch helped him a lot.

I have a feeling that his HR totals are going down.

Re: Robinson Cano Seattle Mariners jerseys on sale already

I agree with you guys that he's greedy, stats will hurt, and all that stuff.
But really at the end of the day baseball is a business and I doubt any of us would have left $70 million on the table so I don't blame the guy.
As somebody who has about 20 Cano bats, most high-end, I won't be crying about losing money on them because I didn't acquire them with the intentions of making money--I enjoy them no matter.
However, I also don't plan on paying the Yankees premium for future bats if I do buy any as I'm sure prices will drop.
Good luck to him, I'm just glad we don't have another crap contract on the Yankees to hold us down for the next 10 years.

Re: Robinson Cano Seattle Mariners jerseys on sale already

I agree. Greed is deadly. I could see LA or TX. But Seattle????
