MLB Daily Thread: 7.9 DeGromly Thread: Is this kid awesome or do the Red Sox suck?

The Yankees offered more per year to Cano than the Mariners did. They just refused to do the years.

Yep.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Because they got tired of consistently underachieving while under his watch?

riiiiight.....and they've been so lights out under his replacement......lol

The Yankees don't get outspent for anything they want, regardless of what Cashman says to the media. I never said anything about them letting him go because he was underachieving. They didn't want to commit $250MM because they didn't think he was worth it and they knew more about him than any other team. Add to that, dollars mean far less to the Yankees than they do to the Mariners.

Ellsbury has nothing to do with my point.

They offered him something like $180M(for 8 years?) and that was as high as they were willing to go. They didn't want to do 10 years for a guy that would be over 30 for the bulk of the deal. But they took that same offer and gave it to Ellsbury instead(to have him be over 30 for the bulk of his deal). Cano could have accepted the Yankees offer, you know. But Seattle came in with 10 years. End of story. Don't reward the Yankees apparent "shrewdness" after the fact.

I never said that! It's hard to be impressed with anything Bud Black did in SD, though.

You're completely missing my point, but I don't really care.

So, you're right, when a team that has by far the deepest pockets in the game lets their #1 player walk in free agency, other teams interested in that player should back up the Brinks trucks.

Exactly.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

The Mariners offered Cano 41% more than the Yankees did. That's huge. And retarded.

Dennis Leonard. July 11, 1984. With Carmelo Martinez at bat, Leonard was assessed a balk while nobody was on base.

Liar.

Balks, Robinson Cano's contract, and Scatalogia.

You all fail today.

Steve Carlton had 90 career balks. Please tell me which of those occurred when the bases were empty. According to obnoxiousyankeefan this should be in the stats for the game.
