Robinson Cano Tracking Thread

[Price]

So weird.

Jay-Z getting shit DONE. He'll make millions upon millions of dollars just with the residual clientelle gained from getting this deal done.

Please.

Scott Boras would have gotten a better deal for Cano.

I get Jay Z is a great rapper and businessman, but as baseball agents go, he and his partners couldn't touch Scott Boras with a 10-foot pole. Boras likely would have gotten this deal done with the Yankees, not the Mariners. Instead, Jay Z and his sports agents went over the top and put Cano in Seattle when he could have stayed in New York.

There's no doubt Jay Z will play the race card and get many great sports clients, but Scott Boras is the better baseball player agent.

You've obviously been paying attention to this signing over the last 24 hours. Go do some looking to see what actually happened and then come back.....or don't.

If you aren't trading Walker then you'll need to lower expectations of what you get in return imo. If the Mariners balk at moving Walker, then the Rays go to a team like the DBacks and check on Bradley. If the DBacks balk with Bradley they go to the Pirates and check on Taillon and Polanco. It boils down to whoever is running the Mariners wanting to bring in a CY Young pitcher to go along with Cano. Jack Z is a terrible GM all things considered, and nobody is really sure why he still has a job. Maybe the ownership group that kept him around told him you can stay on board, but we are pulling some of the strings this offseason because we want to increase the attendance. Who knows what is going on in these front offices but it has been pretty fucking fun so far, and we haven't even done the winter meetings yet mg4:.

We're not at the point where we need to move Walker. If they are insisting on Walker, then try and sign a free agent pitcher like Ubaldo or Garza. If everything else fails, we then may look at moving Walker.

I'd keep Walker. How far away from the bigs is he?

:kanye:

 

[GangstaE]

Maybe now Jeter will move to second base now that cano is gone.

 

[BiggaAdams]

Great chance he earns a spot this spring.

Taijuan Walker will be in the rotation, I can see Paxton settling there mid-season too. Danny Hultzen is still awhile away, unfortunately.

Hutzen won't pitch again until 2014. Tore his shoulder up I believe.
