For all the claims that Cano has been the best 2B in baseball, its about time they payed him that way.

Isn't that what the Yankees refer to as "respect"?
Price wouldn't sign with Yankees.
Once he hits free agency, he doesn’t intend to sign with an organization that burdens its players with rules. For example, if the Yankees traded for him, he wouldn’t stay there very long. “I wouldn’t sign a long-term deal there,” he told Morosi. “Those rules, that’s old-school baseball."
That's an old quote-- he reconsidered it quickly after his agent talked him out of it.Originally Posted by Dom
He said it in a story two days ago. This web site won't let me post the link.
I think a700 is spot on with him getting 6 years / 25 mil per.
And that should tell you it has no chance in happening. 6/150M is a team friendly deal. It's not happening. I'm guessing he gets 7/175M at minimum.
He has me on ignore but potshots me like a coward. BTW, I said that he would get at a minimum a 6yr/$150 million deal barring injury or a steroid ban.
The King of TalkSox has Spoken.
6 years/$150 is the bare minimum he'll get, 10 years/over $200 million is what he's asking for. What he'll actually get is probably closer to 8 years/$200 million.
I think Cano has a shot at the Tex contract if he agrees to renegotiate now. I think being contracted through his age 37 season is all he's going to get. 10 yrs is no longer a feasible request.
Hal sucks
Over the last 4 seasons--
Hamilton -- .305 .360 .555 .915
R. Cano --- .314 .365 .534 .899
Similar age entering free agency. One player is significantly more valuable defensively, and doesn't have drug issues. I think its a no-brainer.
He's getting at least 7. Almost every contract in the top 15 of MLB is 7+ years. He's going to get that. If he signed for less it might be the deal of the century and I don't see Boras letting that happen on his watch.
I honestly don't know why some think he will sign early when he knows he can go test the market and still be able to call the Yanks and get a Tex type deal if he doesn't like the market.
Yeah I would guess Cano ultimately gets 7 years and 175 million.
10 years may not be a feasible request for the Yankees any longer, but there are other teams who are benefiting greatly from increased revenue and have money burning a hole in their pockets. The Yankees are no longer the least responsible team when it comes to giving out contracts. It could very well take 10 years to win a bidding contest between the Yankees, Dodgers and Nationals.
I honestly expect Cano to be a Dodger next season. I've been saying it for a long time now and nothing has made me want to shift from that. The only way I don't see LAD throw the bank at him is if they win a WS this season. Then they may be less inclined to bring in another star.
