Cano to Seattle?

[redseat]

Yeah he's a disaster - I wish guys like him would stay out of the game - he's not helping Cano's best interests

Neither is Boras.... and in reality what Agent really is? All they care about it their cut

I get the money part but right now don't the Yankees have a better shot at winning then Seattle?

BREAKING NEWS: Cano and Mariners talks break down, free agent not signing with Mariners

 

[Fountain City Blues]

According to Feinsand, Cano and his representatives from CAA and Roc Nation Sports arrived in Seattle with an eight-year, $200MM offer in hand from the Mariners and eventually received assurances that the Mariners would go to nine years and $225MM. However, a late change by agent Jay-Z in which he once again demanded $252MM over 10 years caused Mariners CEO Howard Lincoln to "explode," prompting the meeting to end.

"What a greedy tool that Jay-Z is."

Good lord!

This is a serious question - becuase I really don't know much about Jay-Z: Where did he go to school?

I know he is/was an R&B artist (or rapper - or performer - whatever)... Did he get a law degree? Or business management? (wikipedia did not mention his education)...

He is banned from being an NFL agent due to a " lack of education."

The Mariners are so upset over this that they may pull out all together now. Around the league they are wondering if Cano was just using them as leverage and really wants to return to the Yankees.That 9 year $225 mil deal is the largest he'll get, so he probably doesn't want to go to Seattle, where hitters go to die.

Not so fast: Robinson Cano?s talks with Mariners ?still alive? | HardballTalk

 

[depraved]

If he really did have a 9yr 225mil on the table he was stupid to walk away from it, regardless of what super agent Jay-Z wanted.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Jay Z and company in damage control mode? Doing some backpedaling? I understand he's probably your biggest client and you want to make a splash but way to make yourselves look like complete asses right off the bat. People aren't going to take you seriously and potential clients are going to be scared off if you look incompetent.

Ugh, I swear, if Cano and Jay-Z fuck this up again... Just take the 9/225 already.

Well, Didn't see this post

 

[steveringo]

Felix Hernandez - 2014 = $22.8 -- 15 = $24.8 -- 16 = $25.8 -- 17 = $26.8 -- 18 = $26.8 -- 19 = $27.8

So, they'll have $50m on the books for two players.

Will the rest of the roster get $50m?

Mariners are screwed, this will come back to bite them. 10 year contracts in a guys 30s never works out. Hes 31 right now, they are paying him top dollar until hes 41. They aren't the Yankees either with seemingly unlimited money. The Yankees were right for not fing themselves into another 10 year contract. Lesson learned with A-Rod.
