It was funny that Yankee fans the other day thought that they could sign Ellsbury, McCann and still get Cano and a pitcher or 2.

This Yankee fan knew Cano was history as soon as Ellsbury signed.
Ellsbury, outside of 1 season, is half the player of Cano and is getting paid nearly as much per season.
Granted, Yankees would have been crazy giving Cano the same 10-year contract, even though he's missed less games in the last 7 years then Ellsbury misses in any given week.
I just don't understand the economics of baseball the last few years. All these long-term guaranteed contracts are insane.
