In case you haven’t heard, Yankees second baseman Robinson
Cano is a free agent after the 2013 MLB season. Arguably the best player to hit
the open market since Albert Pujols, the Yankees
would obviously like to keep Cano, but it won’t be cheap.
According to Yankees GM Brian Cashman, the team made Cano “a significant offer” to the All-Star second baseman, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports. While no other details were disclosed, one has to wonder just how large this offer is. With how MLB contracts
are these days, especially for star players, it can be assumed it’s within the 7+ year range, and worth roughly $150+ million total.
With the uncertainty facing the Yankees (Jeter, A-Rod,
Granderson), they’d be wise to lock Cano up for whatever it takes. If they don’t,
and he hits the open market, there will be a number of teams calling his agent,
Scott Boras, on the first day of free agency.
Speaking of Scott Boras, he was reached for comment from CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, but declined.
