Why would you give him the contract? Does your local Jewish Deli have a softball team or something?

The Stromboli Jabronis pushed hard but were unable to sign a deal with cano.

If I were cashman and the front office and no jewish deli's around here.

 

[Crazyeyez15]

As a yankee fan I loved cano.. great player but not worth 240mil glad the yanks didn't pay up

MESTS MAKING A SPLASH!!!!! WOOOOOOOOO

 

[jman2050]

Not WARs-tastic yet, but it's a start:

Well here's something

@DSzymborski @Sky_Kalkman So +35 WAR, which would be $6.8M per win. Deal works at that level.

 

[Sanjuro]

If I were cashman and the front office and no jewish deli's around here.

You're not though. I also highly doubt that $175 was their max offer anyhow.

 

[aFIGurANT]

Grandy man is set to sign with the mets, four years not sure on the money. Throwing dat cheddar all over the league.

 

[rando14]

We better not trade taijuan

How do you know I'm not? Have you been spying on me, Mr. Sanjuro?!

I think we're seeing Desperate Nintendo on the baseball side of things. :-(

 

[rando14]

I'm 99.99% sure that cashman is Cashman

I think we're seeing Desperate Nintendo on the baseball side of things. :-(

Yeah :\ I mean a big free agent signing was pretty necessary, I'm just hoping the signing itself will eventually attract other players, it's much bigger than just cano himself

 

[lucius]

If Cano was 25-27 years old I could see that not being a total waste for Yankees to come closer to M's deal(for Mariners it kind of makes since), but with MLB being strict with PEDS it's gonna be much harder for the all 35+ superstars to produce in later years.

Yankees are in much better place now try fill in other holes, Cano is superstar for sure so big loss for yanks, he was not that clutch a hitter though.

 

[hemtae]

So this is the reason for your attempted coup of Yankees council.

Cashman destroyed all his computers after that trashy film Moneyball.

Yankees need to sign this 2nd baseman

I'd like to say "cool!", but I've been burned too many times. Least he'll probably be solid in the outfield.

 

[Dominican Power]

Can't wait for the insufferable "Grandyman" posts from Frankman.

 

[ReMaKe]

A 7/175 offer was really disrespectful, totes disrespectful.

The moment you gave J.Ellsbury 153M it became disrespectful, and Stephen A Smith said that a trusted source told him the Yankees were only going 7/170.

 

[jbug617]

Red Sox might lose Napoli

@Ken_Rosenthal:Sources: Napoli talks at critical stage. He wants to stay with #RedSox, but has offer from another club that Sox need to match or exceed.

We better not trade taijuan

Rosenthal says he thinks Nelson Cruz might be next.

 

[Lambtron]

I'd say it would be more like a brisk walk

I couldn't care less about players "hustling" to first base. Gardenhire got JJ Hardy traded because he wasn't "fast" enough. Cano is an elite player.

Yeah, 10 years was not worth. Yankees stated they weren't going to go anywhere near A-Rod's contract. I mean look how well that Pujol's contract is working out so far...

The difference is that Pujols was/is a first baseman. Cano can probably shift to 1B or corner outfield at some point before he ends up DHing and play average or above average in the field. I'd be way more comfortable giving an up the middle guy a big money deal than a 1B.

taijuan is worth so much more tahn cruz it's not even fair

 

[Fox318]

Can't wait for the insufferable "Grandyman" posts from Frankman.

Can the Mets take John Sterling as part of the Granderson deal?

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Hell naw, no one replaces the great Howie Rose.

 

[jbug617]

Cruz is a free agent.

Oh yeah I forgot lol!!

I'd just like to be able to listen to a game and know what is going on.

 

[jbug617]

Feldman to the Astros

@Ken_Rosenthal: Source: Feldman agrees with #Astros, three years, $30 million, pending physical.

 

[weekend_warrior]

And you all doubted Jay-Z.

 

[slightconfuse]

I'd just like to be able to listen to a game and know what is going on.

It's a delivery form the Ellsbury dough boy

 

[Malo]

The moment you gave J.Ellsbury 153M it became disrespectful, and Stephen A Smith said that a trusted source told him the Yankees were only going 7/170.

He would have gotten $4 million more in AAV than Ellsbury and that's not insignificant. And I trust Mark Feinsand and Joel Sherman a heck of a lot more when it comes to baseball than I do the joke that is Stephen A Smith.

So this is the reason for your attempted coup of Yankees council.

I can not comment on rumors and speculation.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Man, that Cano news is NUTS.

 

[Schattenjäger]

Can't wait for the insufferable "Grandyman" posts from Frankman.

Lolol

Curt-hits!!

 

[Enron]

Can't wait for the insufferable "Grandyman" posts from Frankman.

Personally, I can't wait for their incoming 70-win season with no Matt Harvey.

 

[BFIB]

All these moves.

The GM Meetings are going to be the GM's playing charades in the hotel lobby at this point.

Zack Wheeler led 81 wins Mets team!

 

[CheezyMac88]

The Mets still need a new shortstop to replace Tejada.

The Mets still need a new shortstop to replace Tejada.

Stephen Drew!

 

[jakncoke]

Im pretty sure Pirates are going to completely punt this offseason and fuck our chances of success this year. Isnt the point of the offseason to fix flaws of the season before and try and get to the next level or does Neil Huntington still think we're building?

All these moves.

Oh Oh

Its a movie

Western

baseball related...

Good Tweet

@ChrisCarlinSNY: Ellsbury's contract was responsible, but Cano's wasn't? Hmmm. Last 4 yrs: Ellsbury missed 264 games. Cano missed 7. I heart you people.

 

[JABEE]

Jay Z Knows Negotiations.

Better than his new album.

 

[ReMaKe]

My point is, you're willing to over pay for Ellsbury but not for Cano?
You're willing to over pay for someone you don't need and not for someone you do?

 

[El_Chino]

Good Tweet

While true still doesn't mean Cano deserves 10 years/200+. If I was cashman, I would've given him 7/215 just so I won't to give the additional 3 years.

 

[rekameohs]

What is gritty(tm) legend Willie Bloomquist going to do on the Mariners now?!

 

[Malo]

7/175 is already an overpay. The only two players to to make more than $25 mill last year were Cliff Lee and Arod.

Carry Cano's bags?
