Wonder where he will end up? Seattle would be nice, him, along with Cano would be solid additions to that lineup.

Why would a power hitter want to go to Seattle? Granted they moved the fences in, but still a tough place to hit long balls and Cruz isn't, in the last 3 years, a guy who hits for average.

Cano went to Seattle... Don't really call him a "power" hitter but he still went there and he has power

There was a rumor that he turned down a 5 year 75mil deal with the mariners if this is true he is an idiot a 5 year deal for a 33 year old that gets hurt, no glove and suspended for a PED scandal? but im glad he didnt take the contract

but from what it seems with baltimore and ranger rumors im guessing he wants to play somewhere that has a chance to win which obviously the mariners cant provide that. I used to always say money talks shit walks maybe it aint always true

The Mariners still have a terrible team, Cruz probably wants to stay with the Rangers.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

And the Rangers probably don't want him at that pice.
