I'm not upset about having him just about overpaying him. Who else was trying to acquire him at anything close to what we paid? Likely, no one.

That overspending cost us the best 2nd baseman in the game. I'm not happy.

I could see why you wouldn't be happy as they did seem to be bidding against themselves. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 6, 11:27 3
- Exactly. And that probably angered Cano and sent him looking for the biggest deal. - Krusty Dec 6, 11:34 2
  - the good thing for you fans is that if any team can restock I think its the Yankees. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 6, 11:40 1
    - Sure but that's a lot of pieces. Do they just blow the $185m cap? I doubt it since they'll be able to spend even more next year if they don't. Also - Krusty Dec 6, 11:47
