I think McCann/Ellsbury is a better investment than just keeping Cano's non hustling ass.

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.
We'll get Tex back, Jeter back, bring in McCann and Ellsbury and will be an improved team.

Ellsbury's injuries are all because he hustles too hard. I like that.
Oh and remember how painful it was watching Cano in the World Series? Yuck. For every amazing thing he did in the regular season I literally cannot recall and significant moments of him in the playoffs in general.It'll suck seeing him go to Seattle and hit 25 homers next year and walk a shitload of times but the Yankees are a team and not one individual. I gave Red Sox fans a lot of shit for them trading Adrian Gonzalez who was by far their best player and they go and make some small pickups and win the World Series.
Yankees were 4th place last year with Cano and Granderson....they both got mad overpaid this off season. You gotta move on and make the best decisions for both now and the future and watching Cano play until 41 for more money than Albert Pujols is retarded.
