Mariners Willing To Pay Cano $230-240MM
5:15pm: Cano asked the Mariners for a ten-year, $240MM deal, but the Mariners' offer did not exceed $200MM, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal tweets.
3:21pm: Robinson Cano flew to Seattle to meet with the Mariners in person today, and the team has informed him that they are willing to pay as much as $230-240MM on a ten-year contract, according to Enrique Rojas of ESPNDeportes.com (Spanish link).
It was reported yesterday that the Mariners may have topped the Yankees' offer of roughly $170MM, but if true, the reported $230-240MM offer would shatter the Yankees' highest bid. The Mariners met with Cano's representatives on Tuesday, according to multiple reports, but this appears to be the first instance of Cano traveling to Seattle to meet with club officials.
Cano and agents Jay-Z of Roc Nation Sports and Brodie Van Wagenen of CAA are said to be seeking something in the neighborhood of $252MM. The Yankees reportedly will not offer Cano more than $200MM, and in the wake of that news, the offense-starved Mariners appear to have emerged as major players in the Cano sweepstakes.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Mariners have made an offer to Robinson Cano, but it did not exceed $200 million.
Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes reported earlier Thursday that the Mariners were willing to offer Cano $230-240 million, but Rosenthal says that's not the case, at least not at this point. Cano asked Seattle for a 10-year, $240 million deal, but the M's apparently came back well below that number. The second baseman is currently on a plane to Seattle to meet with club officials. While it does certainly appear the Mariners are serious about their pursuit of Cano, it remains to be seen if they'll be able to outbid the Yankees.Comment

Much news, so update.David Waldstein of the New York Times was told by a source with knowledge of the Mariners' plans that the club will offer Robinson Cano a nine-year, $225 million contract.
CBS Sports' Jon Heyman is reporting the same figures, saying they've bumped up their initial offer of $200 million. Heyman also notes that the Mariners "understand they have to be well above the Yankees to get him to move nearly 3,000 miles." The $225 million offer would certainly qualify, as the Yanks are at $175 million and are reportedly unwilling to approach $200 million. Cano is meeting with the Mariners' brass Thursday evening.Comment

Dude is going to be 40 by the time any of these rumored deals is going to end. Any team, even the Mariners who are starved for offense and a star to pair with King Felix, can't justify giving Cano this much money.Comment

We have no one else to spend all this money on I say go for it.Comment

Mariners will have to overpay to get him but they have the pockets to do so. Make it happen Seattle!Comment

Mark Feinsand @ FeinsandNYDN 12m
Source said Mariners were prepared to offer Cano 9/$225 believing he was going to accept. Jay Z made late change, demanded 10/$252. (more)Mark Feinsand @FeinsandNYDN 11m
Source said Mariners CEO Howard Lincoln "exploded" after Jay Z changed it up and ended the meeting with Cano and his camp.Mark Feinsand @FeinsandNYDN 11m
Mariners were indeed ready to give Cano $225 for nine years. Jay Z overplayed his hand with the late change and the demand for a 10th year.
LOL
