CANO to Seattle

Christmas comes early for this M's fan. We needed help up the middle.... in the outfield.... and a closer wouldn't hurt either this year Santa.... there's still time.

Hope he enjoys losing for 10 years and never winning another world series ring.

Seattle can be very strong if they ever get an outfield. Cano, Seager, and Nick Franklin will all be under contract until at least 2018. That's a heavy hitting infield.

Felix and Iwakuma are strong anchors in the rotation too.

How soon people forget that for a 5-6 year period Seattle was the winningest Franchise in all of Baseball and made it to the ALCS in back to back years. If not for a stacked Yankees team at their absolute peak, they could have won 2-3 World Series in that time. A far cry from not winning. They have built the best Minor League organization in all of Baseball with a young Pitching Corp that other teams would Mortgage the Farm for, and now with Cano should be able to start attractive some free agents. I am not saying they are going to win the World Series, but they are certainly not going to "lose for the next decade".

Hey Seattle...

Enjoy that contract in about 5 or 6 years. What an albatross that thing will be.

News flash. There aren't many 41 year old second basemen out there.

Yeah, but there are 41 year old DH's.

[khkco4bls]

Cano will start the downslide in 2-3 years. By age 37 he will move to DH and the final 4 years of that contract he will hit and play like Jason Giambi at a similar age. Should be fun.

Talk about another albatross of a contract....how about the Ellsbury contract?

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.

Yes because surely the Yankees are going to win many more championships in the next 10 years

[Shoeless Moe]

If Seattle can get David Price, that's a helluva a 1-2-3 for the playoffs......if they make it that is.

I bet in the next ten years the Yankees win more rings then the M's do.

[HRBAKER]

My guess is he figures that he has just as much a chance of winning in Seattle as he did in NY and the money was better.

[brookdodger55]

Good luck cano with a 215 average hitters in front of you. I guess it was about the money and not going to a winning team. He might have made a bad decision
Letting Jay z represent him, got his money but not getting a ring there. He will put fans in the seats to watch only him. Good luck with that.

[Shoeless Moe]

If he really is lazy as others have said here, I doubt he would care about a ring over money.

Yes, therefore every single baseball player in the world should do everything possible to become a member of the Yankees.

[thetruthisoutthere]

I've been a Yankees fan for 51 years.

As a fan, I've been fortunate enough to see them win eight World Series titles and countless trips to the playoffs. There is nothing to be upset about.

I was never enamored with Cano. He was offered a huge chunk of change by the Yankees and decided to accept the Mariners offer.

So be it.

I will not miss him.

The Yankees will be just fine this season, and the next and the next.

lol

[prewarsports]

Yankees fans should not just assume World Series come their way by birthright. As a fan who grew up watching baseball in the 1980's they were BAD for a long time. Maybe they will be fine and maybe they wont, but assuming they will win World Series' over the next 10 years just because they have pinstripes and rich owners?????

Betcha it's a dead heat.

[perezfan]

If the Mariners next move isn't to "fix" the 1B situation, it will be disappointing. Was really hoping for Napoli to come here. Jack Z's tenure has been filled with complacency and some very poor decisions. The rebuilding phase would've continued to drag on forever, and attendance has declined each year since 2003. Soccer is now more popular here than baseball

This is Zduriencik's final chance to save credibility (and his job), IMHO.
