Robinson Cano says team needs an extra bat

[Sportsguy9695]

Robinson Cano thinks that the new-look Seattle Mariners still need some more offensive punch.

Cano, who signed a 10-year, $240 million contract with Seattle this offseason, said during a recent interview with CBSSports.com that the Mariners should look to acquire another hitter.

"I'm not going to lie. We need an extra bat, especially a right-handed bat," Cano told CBSSports.com. "We have many left-handed hitters. We need at least one more righty.

"You don't want to face a lefty pitcher with a lineup of seven left-handed hitters."

Cano suggested to the website that the Mariners re-sign free agent slugger Kendrys Morales, a switch hitter who belted 23 home runs with Seattle last season.

"[Morales is] a switch hitter who's got power," Cano said.

Cano traded to Marlins for RP after comments about adding players....the Lincoln Way.

Yea I am wondering if during the negotiations Cano was promised the team would spend more money and now he is realizing that's not happening

Welcome to Seattle Robbie. This aint the yankees where when they need a left fielder they go sign one. or when they need a third SP they sign one.

This is the mariners, where lincoln continues to show the absentee owner a profit. Nothing more, nothing less.

Careful what you say Cano…. Actually winning might confuse Lincoln … Jeff Nelson tried to lobby for the team and fans and got 2 hours of detention…

Did he bother to look at the roster before he signed?

He fell for Jack's 30 year rebuild plan.
