Cano wants 300 Million?

...the fan base will not stand for a 60 win season...if you think there are empty seats now, imagine what the park would look like if the Yanx field a team that lose 100 games next year.
...they have the money to spend for next year and I think it will have to be blend of younger players and vets and FAs and trade acquisitions....and there are a few players out there who could help this team.

...and Cano can forget about $300 Mil...in fact, I doubt he gets $200 Mil.

It's going to be very interesting to see what teams will be in on Cano, because the big money teams like Boston, LA, LAA, Texas and Philly will not be in the mix IMO, so that leaves few teams that can afford a Cano, he's doing one thing and one thing only with this $300 crap- looking for as much as possible from NY, because in the end they may be the only game in town, and the Yankees know it, I doubt they overpay this time, I think they'll make an offer in the $150 range and he'll be forced to take it.

As long they're not dumb enough to bid against themselves...............................again.

... 6 years, $150 Mil sounds about right to me.

that would be the max for me... anything more on years or money and its too much...

The only negotiating power he really has is what another team is willing to offer him. He's not going to sit out of baseball insisting his contract demands be met. The economics in baseball have changed and too many teams have been burned on the long term big money deals. I've always said overpay him per year but limit the amount of years. If he has an issue with that tell him to pick up a basketball and see if he can go find a max contract somewhere in the NBA.
