Now with that said, LOLMarinersLOL. These huge deals become albatrosses in later years. However, they should sell every season ticket. In closing, Nas Lost.

 

[Blackace]

I'm not gonna say something dumb like "good riddance" but I sure as hell want no part of that contract.

Yankees infield is a shitshow right now though.

you have had that contract twice..

 

[rekameohs]

That AL West race sure is going to be exciting in 7 years with the corpses of Fielder, Pujols, and Cano out there.

 

[sangreal]

good luck in safeco Cano

With the Astros being Kings of the Mountain. >_>

Astros also signed Scott Feldman to a 3yr/30mil deal. Now he's the highest paid Astro lol.

 

[Malo]

I wonder if the Angels are still trying to trade Howie Kendrick. I rather have him than Infante.

Bionic ankle for Jeter.

 

[Paches]

The fences were brought in last year and the numbers went up quite a bit IIRC. On phone right now so can't look it up for sure.

My guess is the Yankees target Brandon Phillips.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Daren Rovell, ESPN sports business expert, said on Cowherds show that Cano will earn an extra 25 million. no state tax in Washington and will play 69% of games in no state tax states. Compared to same contract with the Yanks.

 

[bozeman]

Wonder if Howard Lincoln longs for the days of writing columns in Nintendo Power when having to negotiate with Jay Z.

Could Nintendo use some of this money to moneyhat some Wii U exclusives please???

One year isn't enough data to make a good picture of the changes the new fences had on park effects.

https://www.facebook.com/GamemasterHoward is not the same guy as Howard Lincoln.

 

[Blackace]

wow more Nintendo jokes! How original...

 

[Chris R]

Fucking hell Mariners. Ugh

Can't wait to watch the team enter another rebuilding phase in 5 or 6 years.

 

[ReMaKe]

7/175 is already an overpay. The only two players to to make more than $25 mill last year were Cliff Lee and Arod.

And that's where we'll just have to disagree. I don't see that as overpaying.

OT: Who is the Yankees best player now that Cano is gone?

I never thought the Yankees would get worst offensively. Of course, they're not finished.

I wonder what Mike Trout would get if he was a FA.

 

[JCizzle]

I actually hope someone else picks up Nap. I'd be perfectly fine platooning Carp and a RH bat like WMB (please be ready Cecchini!). Nap is a great guy, but K's too much for my taste and his health will always be a concern.

 

[rekameohs]

I wonder what Mike Trout would get if he was a FA.

It's going to be insanity when that day comes. As with Kershaw.

 

[Macattk15]

10 years. Ohhhhh Lawd. Gonna regret that someday!

Not now though!

 

[slightconfuse]

between pujols , hamiltion and pitching wonder wha deal they give trout

 

[Chris R]

10 years. Ohhhhh Lawd. Gonna regret that someday!

Not now though!

Someday? Why not today?

I wonder how strong the backlash will be when were finishing the season 2nd in the west and not in contention for the WC? :|

 

[CygnusXS]

I like this Cano signing because it means Dan Uggla will probably be a Yankee soon.

 

[JohnTinker]

Mariners also going for Napoli too, in addition to Price? wow

 

[Branduil]

You guys won't be laughing when the Mariners announce they've discovered the secret to human cloning.

 

[distantmantra]

Mariners also going for Napoli too, in addition to Price? wow

Jack Z is in do or die mode.

 

[CygnusXS]

Jack Z is going to spend a billion dollars, the Mariners will win 118 games and give Jack a ten year extension.

 

[Branduil]

The Rangers want to bring back Napoli? I'm okay with that.

 

[santeesioux]

The Mariners are going after Bartolo Colon too.

 

[rando14]

I wonder what number cano will wear

 

[Sanjuro]

Who is going after Kevin Youkilis!?

 

[BFIB]

I wonder what number cano will wear

He'll be the first player to wear a symbol: $

 

[Dominican Power]

Giancarlo Stanton will be a Yankee.

 

[Sanjuro]

I wonder what number cano will wear

99

 

[Branduil]

The Mariners are going after Bartolo Colon too.

Yeah he's a fat slob ... can't argue with his results though.

Just put a mustache on him and he could be the new Mario.

Teams aren’t obligated, of course, to use all or even part of that additional $25 million on player salaries. That money can also be helpful to expanding a team’s national and international scouting operation, or its data analysis department, or marketing, or all three. But some teams appear to have made payroll commitments for 2014 — and beyond — knowing an additional $25 million was coming their way.

I guess that covers Cano's salary?

 

[jello44]

wow more Nintendo jokes! How original...

The Wii U is a joke, it was inevitable.

 

[cashman]

Rangers signed Arencibia to a 1 year 1 million deal. Not the worst thing in the world, but still don't like JPA.

 

[harSon]

Sucks to be an impoverished franchise. All these rich asshole teams inflating the market at all positions -_-

 

[Windu]

10/240 and a no trade clause? lol wow

 

[Macattk15]

But seriously Mariners. Don't trade Taijuan Walker for David Price.

Just sign one of the FA pitchers.


All of you guys need to understand the Mariners NEEDED to pay that much to try and change the fucking terrible culture/stigma surrounding the Mariners.

 

[aFIGurANT]

10/240 and a no trade clause? lol wow

Maybe this is disrespectful towards Seattle, but how is a no trade clause a selling point to Cano? They should have only went for the deal if they knew they could trade him down the road when the bills are piling up.

Fire dah owners.

All big contracts pretty much get full no trade clauses.

If the Mariners still suck in 3-4 years ... I'm sure Cano would be happy to go somewhere else and still be paid whatever.

Ichiro had a full no trade clause .. but then he waived it for a few select teams and ended up with the Yankees.

Yeah, most big name players have no interest in coming to Seattle, regardless of having to play for the Mariners.

 

[Dominican Power]

Which one of you Mariners fans use to shit on Cano?

 

[element]

good luck in safeco Cano

He is a .317 hitter with 50 RBI in around 70 games.

 

[Dominican Power]

The AL West: home of the overpaid.

 

[Lambtron]

10/240 and a no trade clause? lol wow

Eh, his 10 & 5 rights would kick in after 2018 anyway, so it's not THAT big of a change.
