why would they now? He can want out of Seattle all he wants, but Seattle has to find a trading partner willing to take on his contract. I have a feeling the length, as opposed to the annual salary, will the bigger issue.
He blew it when he left. He would have been an all-time Yankee with all that comes with it. Instead he chased the money to a baseball wasteland. As much as I loved him, no sympathy.
That figures. A player can take an obscene amount of money and then basically emotionally/mentally bail on the team and they are left with no recourse.
where Jeter just gave up the game, leaving swaths of territory that could have been Cano's.
Instead he took the money to go to Seattle, where not even the QB can get laid.

seattle is screwed and they should have known better about Cano's attitude and fortitude before handing him the franchise. Again, if true, it is embarrassesing for Cano to play the role of spoiled brat a whopping 2 years into a 10 year deal. Man the fuck up and try leading for once
as others have already said, why now if not 2 years ago?
They were right not to give him 10 years. The last thing they need now is another A-Roid contract on their hands.
JonC mad a good point, SEA taking Ellsbury and kicks back $50 million is a good starting point, but even then, I can't see Cano being productive in his late 30s.
and I'm not sure that was ever confirmed, would you walk away from $65 mil? Goodwill? We don't need the guy back, don't get me wrong, but I certainly don't resent him for leaving.
Not that he's the end all, but Michael Kay has been saying for quite awhile that people that are connected to Cano have been telling him how miserable Cano is. Say what you want about Kay, he is fairly well connected, and he's been saying this long before this stuff came out the past few days.
You can randomly declare "rumor is BS and not true" all you want. Where there's smoke, there's usually fire...
The CBA doesn't allow MLB contracts to be renegotiated and result in a loss of money.
Hell, even football contracts that are renegotiated don't really result in loss of money, or at least total value. Salary 9not guaranteed) is converted to bonus (guaranteed), allowing a team to reduce the annual cap hit (at least up front) by amortizing more of the money.
RE: Yeah, I don't understand all the venom at Cano
He got a better offer somewhere else. I don't blame him for leaving.
Nobody is really blaming him for leaving. But, nobody is going to have sympathy for someone that left and now decides it's a terrible situation. If I'm not mistaken, the Yankees offer was actually for more money annually, but for less years and thus less overall value. He was dead set on 10 years and went to a crappy team. this is what happens. I don't like when players bitch about situations like this when it was 100% their choice as a FA.

There are people who absolutely resent him for leaving. It's the very Philly approach where someone who makes an understandable business decision to part ways is a jerk because he didn't stay with the org. Cano didn't owe us anything, certainly not an estimated $65 mil discount.

Enjoy all the coffee and watching them throw that stupid fish around the market.

So yeah. It's not happening. lol
Would love to still have Cano at 2B right now, but not for $25 million a year until he's 40

Sounds like the type who will mope and just collect it. He'll play the victim.

Good one. Never liked this kid. Hope he enjoys the Seattle weather at least.

There are those of us old enough to remember Gil Patterson's cup of coffee with the 1977 Yankees. Good times.
