That's a dumb move for Seattle and him. How are they going to sign anyone else? - Krusty Dec 6, 08:29 25
- it is not a bad deal for Cano. He is set for 10 lifetimes. - groiny Dec 6, 08:33 6
  - It's going to cripple them tomorrow since they don't exactly have fat stacks to go out and surround him with talent. - Krusty Dec 6, 08:37 4
    - they have a fantastic rotation, a decent sefensive team overall. - groiny Dec 6, 08:38 3
      - They won't win a ring during this deal. -- nm - Krusty Dec 6, 08:47 2
        
        The three years ARod was in Texas, they finished last all three years -- nm - amoxy Dec 6, 08:52 1
        
        It wasn't because ARod was bad though....it was they had no other real talent - Will Hunting Dec 6, 08:55
  - Seattle has the money right now and needed to overpay...no one wants to go there. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 6, 08:34
- $65mil isn't a few extra bucks. It's about 30% more money. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 6, 08:31 14
  - He never went back to the Yanks to match or come up a bit. I think he wanted out. It's fine. - Krusty Dec 6, 08:34 6
    - they said they would not go over 200 mil IIRC, so why would he go back? -- nm - groiny Dec 6, 08:35 5
      - Because you have a deal on the table and teams have been known to change their minds, especially about money. - Krusty Dec 6, 08:42 4
        
        65 million is not a mind changing number. - groiny Dec 6, 08:44 3

        he probably did them a favor, in hindsight. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 6, 09:02 1
        
        Very true. I fucking hate him. -- nm - Krusty Dec 6, 09:07
  - for all intents and purposes, they're the same thing, really. - znufrii Dec 6, 08:33 6

      - damn znufrii for putting you and I on the same page! -- nm - groiny Dec 6, 08:39 1
        
        he just made that happen in the spirit of the season. -- nm - Diva Dec 6, 08:40
    - no it's not. 65 million bucks is its own thing entirely. I would take 65 million bucks to leave NY. jeez. -- nm - Diva Dec 6, 08:35
    - I will gladly take 30% more points when offered me. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 6, 08:34
    - OMG - groiny Dec 6, 08:34
- I'm sayin'. -- nm - Ken Griffey, Jr. Dec 6, 08:30 2
  - Did the Mariners retire your number? Because that is Cano's current number -- nm - amoxy Dec 6, 08:36 1
    - can they give him #240? -- nm - groiny Dec 6, 08:37
I'm not sure what it says but I don't even know who that guy is -- nm - kilbowlful of jelly Dec 6, 08:29 3
- Arguably, the best second baseman in baseball. -- nm - Krusty Dec 6, 08:30 2
  - I do not even think it is arguably. - groiny Dec 6, 08:34 1
    - Pedroia is pretty damn good as well. I'd say Cano is the best. -- nm - Krusty Dec 6, 08:49
