There's no way the union would agree to that. Especially not when local TV deals are making teams morbidly rich and Trout's 10 year $400 million contract is just on the horizon.

Trout's probably getting a 15 year deal.
The worst part about the Cano deal is how it's prying open Pandora's box. A-Rod and Pujols were the best players in the league at one point. Cano was the best second baseman in the league, which nowadays is a weak ass position where his only competition were Pedroia and Matt Carpenter (who is moving to 3B anyways now that David Freese is gone). Yanks had to take a stance somewhere... they don't want to go down as the team to give two of the worst contracts of all-time.

Thats an unfair comparison to make. A-Rod was great but he was backed by a management who went out to get the pieces needed to win a championship, and the biggest missing piece was Sabathia when they went on to win the championship that year.
It's only been one offseason for Mariners so far. Seattle hasn't done jack shit obviously other than the Cano signing, but for all we know they might go crazy in the next couple years or so and maybe Cano will lead the squad to a championship. They're a long way from contending as it is, but he'd only need to win one to match the justification in A-Rod's contract.

We've discussed this, but Hack Wilson's Logic= the Mariners had their chance in 2001, they'll never make the playoffs ever again.
Hack Wilson - real:
this is the truth
Mariners will never win a world series 8)

I'm sure they will when they give Bryce Harper a 20 year $800 million contract with a player option for a 21st year worth $50 million.

The player option for the 21st year is the key.
