    Just say no. Not only does he have the PED stigma, but he's notorious for a lack of hustle. In fact I think his last Mets hit was a single that should have been a double, but he got thrown out at second because he didn't run hard enough.

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    It has nothing to do with market size. If we play the “big market” game, the Sox shouldn’t have had to fill their DH role back in 2003 with some guy the Twins released.

    If Cano can hit, he’s worth signing. The little evidence this season has given to date is not positive, however…

    Manny always managed to drown out complaints about lack of hustle with his numbers.

    That evidence includes the Mets eating $40 mill to be rid of him.

    A DFA can inspire some hustle.

    But really, at this point is he any better than Dalbec? This isn’t Cano c. 2010 the Sox would be signing …

    And cano may be also. Or not.

    Much like wallpaper, Manny's hitting covered a multitude of sins.
    Old school is good school.

    I take it that Cano if picked up he would be a 1B candidate. How many guys have the Red Sox tried at that position, and how many were actual 1B, and not someone masquerading as one like Flintstone Schwaber, or Franchy, or Arroyo. A big payroll club should be able to do better than that, so call it what you like, but I call it pretty inept.

    The Yankees will take him back and retire his number with a lot of the other sub-par players hanging in there, they love duds

    Cano has a 397 OPS with San Diego so far. That's an ice cold -10 wRC+.
