    Read the article, sympathy is between shit & syphilis in the dictionary, took that money without thinking. Yankees offered less money and years but as 59 pointed out in a prior post the extra money he could have made off of residuals and commercials in New York would have been a prime perk. No Dominicans up there, no shit Robbie, another area of thought in your brain clouded by that contract. Jay Z- may have used you to gain a foothold in the agent business, perish the thought, Jay-Z is your buddy, got you away from that nasty honky Joe Girardi. Saw you went 0-4 last night dipping your average to about .241. Jesus Christ for what Seattle is paying you even Drew is producing more. So enjoy your stay there in Seattle, been many a year since I was up there but it sucked then and has probably not changed much. I hope you hear Steve Miller sing "Take the Money & Run" for the rest of your career.

    I'd consider taking him back if Seattle would pay 1/2 his salary.

    Now go read the pregame Seattle Yankee report article on ESPN. In that article Cano reports that he is a "Well Respected Man" in Seattle kinky isn't it.

    Remember my post envisioning a scenario in which Cashman reported Cano was returning to the Yankee family in 2018, Cashman engineered a deal to only give up 5 prospects and pay all but 2 million a year of his salary. Sarcasm true Cashman sure would find a way to bungle the job. Let Seattle keep him.

    ...Ha!.....the last 3-4 years of that contract will be brutal...even at 1/2 the price. As much as he dogged it in NY can you imagine how long it will take him to get to 1B when he's 38-39-40?

    If you don't think past PED use has anything to do with it you're crazy.

    I would think it's a safe bet to put money on the fact he did use PEDs...
