10 years for 240 million dollars.... 31 years old? Only the manures.

I agree the back end of this contract will be bad, but Cano's a consistent bat, and he plays a full season. Having a big name free agent makes it easier to attract other free agents... Just ask Cano's former team. It's not my money, so I like the deal.

I didn't say he was the problem. I said he is a joke, which is true.

The 45-year-old has compiled a 212-271 record in Seattle in almost three full seasons, including a 70-89 record heading into a season-ending three-game series with the Oakland Athletics.
