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.I'm sure I'll be crying myself to sleep 10 years from now.

When was the last time the Mariners made the playoffs again? Just be glad you got the Seahawks man...they are superbowl material.

I do know the answer, it was 2001 because we beat your teams asses in the playoffs despite you having the best record. I was being a smartass with my reply.The Seattle Sonics have a better shot at a championship over the next 10 years than the Mariners do lol
I will respectfully agree to disagree that this is a bad deal. However I certainly do not blame you for being excited as he is the best 2nd baseman right now and you guys need help.

There's no middle-of-the-order threat in the Yankees lineup anymore and the old dinosaurs the Yankees chose to rely on can't be trusted. The Yankees moved on from Cano and Granderson to McCann and Ellsbury, and they're still horrible and doomed for a 4th place finish. They can't possibly compete with Boston and Tampa in the same division.
Well the deal is finalized. Cano will be sporting number 22.I love how all of the bitter and idiotic Yankees fans (that's another reason why I want to renounce my Yankees fandom, 95% of their fanbase is fucking retarded) kept attacking Cano on social media sites for "abandoning his team and taking the money," yeah like the Yankees have never done that to other teams before .I also liked this one article (I think it was on ESPN New York) where it said that "Jay-Z got Cano some more vacation time, in October" which is true, but ironically also would've been true if he had stayed with the Yankees.
True, true.I have to wonder though, if Cano had stayed with the Yankees would he have become the face of their franchise?I'm asking this because we all know full well that no one's going to the face of that team until Derek no-range Jeter finally gets the fuck out. But assuming Jeter plays for at least 1 more year and Cano had resigned, he would be about 33 when he claims the throne. Not an ideal age to be when you become the face of the franchise. Would they have tried shifting the focus onto somebody younger?And as much as I'd hate to pull this card, are the Yankees ready for a face of the franchise who isn't (in some capacity) a white man?
