What kind of deal will Cano get?

[Gurgi]

Word out there is that he wants 10 years. Yankees seem to be in the 8 year range. What is Cano likely to get?

How can anyone give out 10 years to a 30 year old?

I think he shouldnt get more than a 6 year deal.

I think the Yankees are going to over spend once more.

I wouldn't be surprised if he left NY. I think the MFY are going to try to keep it around 6/150 (or less), and someone like the Nats might beat it.

Cano is an interesting case. He's a superb player, but doesn't always seem to play full tilt, especially on defense. There's just something about him that makes me think that once he signs his big contract, he'll get complacent and go downhill.

I think he'll get in the neighborhood of 8/$200 mm.

Mike Francesa just said Cano rejected the first Yankee offer that was rumored at $189m and would have paid him $27/yr

Dave Cameron just posted a piece today about Cano:

I've posted this in another Cano thread, but I love this whole situation. The Yankees are in a real tough spot here. Cano is currently their best position player, likely their best player period. But the boy's gonna get paid and the Yankees, for the first time since I can remember, are trying to exercise some financial restraint. Either they lose an incredibly good player or they go down the rabbit hole - again - of an overlong fat contract that they'll rue in four or five years. It's win/win for the Orioles. I love it!
