Mariners | Robinson Cano agrees

Fri, 06 Dec 2013 08:01:52 -0800

The Seattle Mariners agreed with free-agent 2B Robinson Cano (Yankees) to a 10-year, $240 million deal.

Fantasy Tip: Cano leaves a hitter's paradise for a hitter's nightmare in Safeco Field. His power translates anywhere, though. In fact, he hit more homers on the road last season. He has hit .309 with four homers and 20 RBIs in 152 at-bats in Seattle during his career. You can expect a slight decline in power. He also has very little around him in the form of protection. Owners will have this in the backs of their minds on draft day. It's possible he'll fall in drafts because of such, but it's not a good idea to value him as an early first-round pick anymore.

Updating earlier reports, the Seattle Mariners offered free-agent 2B Robinson Cano (Yankees) an eight-year, $200 million deal. They were under the impression that a nine-year, $225 million offer would get the deal done. The Mariners offered that nine-year deal, and Cano's agent Jay Z changed it up and demanded 10 years and $252 million, which infuriated the Mariners. One source said the Mariners don't plan to re-open the talks.
