Sorry but not close to being worth that money. Plus, nobody is giving him a deal like that.
 
Yep. Announced by olney on espn this morning. Actually 30.5 per year for 10 for a nice even 305 mill. ROTHLMAO. Cyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Robbie. Go get that money somewhere else. My offer to you is 6 years 120mill.
 
Just shows how stupid, out-dated, and destructive that self-imposed 'no negotiating during the season' policy is. Red Sox were able to lock in Pedroia without any drama during the season.

Letting Cano hit FA = ultimate failure by the Yankees. He should have been signed last off-season, or any time before the trade deadline, and if he didn't sign - he should have been dealt. Getting a pick for losing a FA is fine, but when the player you lose is your best player - getting only a pick in return is a disaster.
 
...it's nothing but posturing. It's what happens in negotiations. Start high, the other side counters with a lower figure, and they meet in the middle.

...and word is, the Yanx did try to lock him up during this season.



...but he's not getting 10 years, and he's not getting $30 Mil.
 
I was just going to print this myself. The numbers are just ridiculous & should should not even be considered let alone taken seriously. No one is giving him a contract like that. I agree with Mel 6 years TOPS!
 
WFAN said the same 10 years 305 million. The bottom line is nobody is going to offer that. It's an absurd starting point.
 
someone will give him loads of cash per season but nobody is going to give him 10 years. i just cant see that happening.
 
Get your best free agent offer and then come back to us. Of course you run the risk of the player signing and not giving you a chance to match but it is what it is. I'm tired of seeing teams bid against themselves. What teams would come even close to those years and dollar figure? The Red Sox are out, The Tigers aren't doing it and Texas knows better. The Dodgers could but why would they? They too wouldn't be bidding against anyone by offering something like that just to do so.
 
^^^problem with that is you never know what the player's agent is saying about offers from other teams is true.

Right Vette and especially when the the gm picking the replacement is a moron without an eye for talent
 
OK... this brings up a question though... I know at some point, not sure if it is still the case, but there was language in A-Rod's contract that said he was to be the highest paid player in the game. Do we know if that is still the case? Does that mean then that, hypothetically of course, if Cano were to get $30.5/year that A-Rod would then get something like $31/year?

...^^^ the Yanx made Cano "a substantial offer" earlier this season and Cano turned it down...they can't force him to sign.

...I don't recall reading anything like that about ARod's contract.

One thing that helped with Pedroia is that he truly wanted to stay a Boston. The Yankees shot themselves in the foot by letting Arod & CC get away with contract changes. If Cano wants to play with this team in negotiations then let him go. I don't know how others feel but I'm for the Yankees getting better and cheaper. Teams like Oakland and Tampa Bay get max firepower out of people they get off of the scrap heap. With the money the Yankees have they should be able to fix the farm, sign reasonable priced free agents, and if possible make a couple of trades. I'd be willing to see a reload/build instead of signing those past their prime for big salaries and hoping that they could win. They really needed to start working on this club in '10.
 
I'm sorry but what makes people think that somehow Cano was going to take a lesser of a contract if they negotiated during the season?

As I understand, the offer was somewhere around 7 years/$160M which is substantial for sure, but from an agent and the player's standpoint - is not more (or equal to) what the Yankees are paying other guys on their team. Tex got 8yr/$180M, CC (with the extension) got 8yr/$186M. Many seem (not saying you) seem to want to draw comparisons to what deals Fielder,Pujols. Pedroia, Wright recently got - but the focus is going to be on what the Yankees gave other players.

Yes, Arod's is the king of the ridiculous contracts, but my guess (just a guess) is that if the Yankees had offered more to Cano than they pay Tex and CC (8yrs/ say $195M-$200M), he might have taken it, but the fact that it is lower than Tex and CC - never saw him taking that deal. Now is an 8yr/$200M deal worth it? IMO - no, but I think that's where the Yankees are gonna have to go and a lot of that has to do with Cano/Jay-Z making them go more than Tex and CC.

That's most definitely where I was at that time. The 2009 WS represented the culmination of a multi-billion $$$ effort to get that elusive, post-2000 WS title, and at that time - they should have begun the process of turning the team over, while still maintaining competitiveness. Cashman had his title, and could have used that goodwill to enact his younger/cheaper/more athletic plan, but instead he decided to use that goodwill to correct previous wrongs in his mind (Javy/NJ) and reach back for a player who beat the Yankees in the playoffs in 2006 (Granderson), but had already started to decline 3 year later.

...Tex and CC were 2-3 years younger than Cano when their deals originated. And 1Bmen and pitchers typically age better and can play longer than 2Bmen. 2B is also a more physically demanding position and CC and Tex don't have to worry about having their knees shredded by a baserunner plowing into them trying to break up a DP. The Yanx as well as other teams also realize this fact and won't be as likely to overextend a contract for a 2Bman.
...teams and their GMs have also spoken out recently about how long term deals don't work out in the long run. And fewer and fewer teams are now prone to extend those kinds of contracts. If you're gonna give out a 10 year deal it better be to a player it better be to a young player like Trout or Machado or Meyers or Harper or Stanton or Puig for example. That way even when the contract is up the players are still barely out of their prime.

...if there is any team out there who MIGHT give Cano more than 6 years, it's the Yanx...and I hope they don't.

While I agree that 1B and Pitchers typically age better, regrettably both Tex and CC have disproven that theory over the last year, as both are only a little beyond halfway through their deals and already in sharp decline. Now - is that a lesson for the Yankees - perhaps? But it's not gonna impact Cano's thinking that if he does return, he's not gonna take less than what those guys got, and certainly not make less annually than either of them over the next 3 years those guys are still around.

Here's what I think the idiots in the FO will do, the'll give Cano an 8 year deal & also (because they don't learn) the'll give him an opt out clause after say...year #5.

God, I hope not (both on the years as well as the opt out), but you are probably right...
 
A Rod, Tex and CC stole lots of money from the Yanks and have not produced in return. The Yanks are crazy if they follow this path. These folks are living the good life and are in decline. Cano in the past few days is laughing and having a good time anticipating all his future coins even though his team is getting their asses whipped. He does not care as he is arrogant and lazy. How many double plays has he hit into this year. He has talent but will never peak to super status. Let him walk and get a hungry young player..
 
They should make a rule across the board, no more opt-out clauses. It has to be one of the dumbest things ever put into a contract.

agreed, but isn't that collusion? I hate opt out clauses... I hate long term contracts... so in the words of Michael Kay... See Ya!
 
For me, there has to come a point and time in the Yankee universe that the market correction takes place. As stated many times, we have made a lot of players into multi millionaires, when the farm system could augment quality players such as Cano for example, that help blend the big contracts with potential great young stars at a controllable cost over a reasonable period of time. Today, none of that is happening, as an organization we are losing on all fronts. I'm full into a total rebuild. 60 win season, provided the farm issues starting with AA down starts producing major league quality starting position player and pitchers. There is no way I cave into Cano... 300, 250, 200 million over any long period is wrong. Give him 30 for 5 with club options for 6, and 7.
