With The August 31 Deadline Looming?

Although not at that money but if we got seattle to give us the deal we got with texas for a-rod where the rich mariners pay half of cano's salary I'd take him back at 12.5 per

 

^^^hell yeah...that would equate to only 1 year longer, but still $75 Mil less than the Yanx originally offered him before he took the Seattle deal.

 

Back when Cano was receiving his offered his contract I think the general consensus on this board was around 100 mil and not much more than 5 years. I can't remember what the Yankees final offer was. Even if Seattle offered 12.5 million a year he'll still be in Arod, CC, and Tex age range when through. I still stand, Cano took the deal, why bring him back, we all hate Drew fine, bring up Refsyder and let him boogie woogie.

 

What he said^^^^^

 

...let me preface this by saying that this is all pure conjecture and spit-balling about Cano coming back, it's not gonna happen.


...But I have to believe that Cano still has 4-5 years left of good production with the bat, maybe more. And if he could have been had for 5 years/$100 Mil, all of uswould have signed up for that back in 2014.
...And that's basically how it would break down if Seattle were to eat 1/2 of his contract. Who cares about the 6-7-8th years if you still get very good offensive production and defense from the first 5 years?

...ARod, CC, and Tex all make $20-$25 Mil per year (much more than $12.5 Mil)...fwiw, the Yanx offered Cano 7 years/ $175 Mil.

 

The one lesson Cano failed to learn or overlooked is the fact when one is a big kahuna on a team like the Yankees the love or notoriety never departs. By electing to leave the Yankees he tossed that bennie right in the trash can. We 've seen Bird and Sevey come on board, let that parade continue.

 

Again......................what he said^^^^

 

...and again, Cano is not coming back to the Yanx...but if he were, is there anyone who seriously thinks Refsnyder will ever be anywhere near the offensive and defensive player Cano is?

 

Absolutely Not, a fact that Cano would be hard to replace but the Yankees needed to take action . Roberts and Drew were poor actions number 1 and 2 so lets give Refsnyder a chance. In the case of Drew I haven't had such disdain for a Yankee Player since Meecham. Even ESPN articles have claimed that Drew is the most hated man in the Bronx.

 

As you said Ron, it'll never happen but if by some chance Seattle would cover 1/3rd or 1/2 I'd take him.

 

...the Yanx had multiple chances and multiple options to address 2B since Cano left...Cashman has failed miserably. Ryan and Drew are terrible and while I don't think Refsnyder would be any worse, I'm not sure he'd be any better either.
...though the Yanx will surely give him some playing in September, I think it's just a courtesy and not so much out of need. Both Seve and Bird were called up only because of injuries and were a necessity... Refsnyder?...meh, not so much, but I'd love to see the kid surprise everyone and take the job from Drew and Ryan.

 

And that what I was exploring when I originated this post. I felt, well, the Mariners have a new GM, are facing a rebuilding project, and would maybe want to rid themselves of Cano. So I started to just speculate that if Cashman was worth a bag of balls, he would reach out and explore the possibilities. Now you see the Yankees claimed old friend David Robinson and are trying to work out a trade. What if?

 

No way in hell

 

...MB, are the Yanx and W-Sox talking?...last I heard, they were not.

 

Tick tock....I am watching that knucklehead Brian Kenney on MLB Network so far no word.

 

Frank honestly I don't see Robertson going anywhere.

 

The initial report I heard on MLB radio when I was driving. They said if anything was going to happen the 2 sides would have to engage by 2:30 or 3PM. Then when I got to office I went on several sights and I read what most all of you read into it, that is appears to be a blocking tactic. However you never know?

 

I

It's posted on the Game Thread Frank....The White Sox pulled him back.
