I always considered Cano's lack of hustle (or what appeared like it) to be very smart and kept him from getting injured. Case in point? Giancarlo Stanton (the huge outfielder and only hitter worth a damn on the Marlins) charged the first base line on a ground ball in 2013 and tore a hamstring.
Anyway congrats to the Mariners for finally being able to outbid the Yankees, although I do wonder where this money was back when Griffey (or A-Rod) were on their way out the door. I guess those TV deals really do make a difference. I hope you enjoy Cano, get another hitter or two and manage to take Price out of the AL East.
As for the Yankees, 4th place in the AL East has their name written all over it.

Not to go off subject but Griffey was actually traded upon his own request to play in his hometown.
In any case, Mariners might be in serious contention for David Price since they don't seem to have an issue of giving up prospects anymore, and Tampa Bay sure loves stealing prospects. With Price, they would have one of the best 1-2-3 combos in the AL, but they would still have a ridiculous way to go from getting into serious contention.
Yanks can still salvage their season. Stephen Drew, Infante, Colon, Balfour... still a lot of players who can make a big impact on the team. If there's any outfielders you want, you better make it quick though, because Seattle is going to be going all out on those same outfielders lol.
MistaNova:
Outfielders? We don't need any more outfielders (although that's not to say the Yankees won't go after more though), what we need is pitching. Kuroda resigning with the Yanks is awesome (and probably the only off-season transaction the Yankees did that I'll actually like) but even then our rotation won't stand a chance against those that the Red Sox and Rays have.
If the Yankees can't sign Tanaka, Ubaldo or Garza then they'll have to trade Gardner (because no one would want to take Wells, Ichiro or Soriano) for a decent pitcher.
Halu Sination:
I just mentioned OFers because I keep hearing that Cashman is dead set on Beltran for some reason.
In any case, Tanaka continues to look less and less likely with the max posting bid, with Tanaka's team President saying "Japanese professional baseball isn't a development system or farm for the big leagues." Yikes.
Ubaldo and Garza would make decent pick-ups though.
Remedy360:
Good. Obviously overpaid, but I do not give a fuck. Any Mariner fan would understand.
Hack Wilson - real:

far from disgruntled
we had Cano as our #1 player on a team with no first basemen and no catcher and we missed the playoffs.
We'll get Tex back, Jeter back, bring in McCann and Ellsbury and will be an improved team.
