How do you turn that down?

Lol I can just imagine Jay-Z and Cano staring at each other with shocked faces trying to figure out how to decline this. I guarantee he does NOT want to go to Seattle but how do you break it to the only team willing to come within the ballpark of your asking price and tell them no?

With the Yanks spending their money elsewhere' date=' perhaps the market for Cano is dropping. Should we make an offer? Okay, mods look away now.......Allright guys, just wanted to cheat and keep this in the O's forum. I don't really want us to sign him. But I'm interesting in your thoughts, if the Yanks don't sign him, who else has the cash to do it. P.S. Don't tell anyone this is not an O's thread. Thanks.[/quote']

Sure who else can we dump LOL we may have to dump our starting 9 :D

I would consider signing Cano if someone can point to one player signed for huge money over the last 3 years who has been worth it. The economics of baseball allow a few teams to waste big money on useless players past their prime. We aren't one of those teams.

      A philosophical question re offense and defense

      By SemperFi · Posted

      I'm going to cop out to an extent in that an elite CF changes how you look at the OF defense especially RF.  If EBJ hits enough with an 80 D he gets into the gaps and a more stationary RF like Kjerstadt is more palatable.  So to me especially in the OF it's balance between positions but an elite CF such as EBJ (as advertised) changes things.  Good defense makes for good pitching.

      I agree with Will Clark, Chris Young, even Albert Pujols (but for different reasons than he stated). He needs to stay up.  Every pitcher he's seen has said, "I'm not going to be the one you beat" and has pitched him like he was, well, Juan Soto for lack of a better comparison in this instance. So many pitches that have painted the corners inside, outside, up, down. He's really gotten a baptism by fire.  So after 100+ plate appearances, reevaluate. I think he will have had something click in the next week and all of this hand-wringing will become history. If he's still struggling and then sent down, will he miss seeing ML pitching? Perhaps. But it's been noted that the Os farm system tries to indoctrinate good pitch selection habits before they're brought up. If he didn't have enough time to get that,  it could be the one thing he'd gain that the ML just moves too fast for.

      Interesting comparison to Bregman.  I recall seeing him in BP at OPACY one night and he had a tablet with him that he'd check after every BP turn.  We didn't have anything like that at the time and I was fascinated by it, but more relevant was the fact that he continued, after that initial struggle, to minutely monitor his swing every chance he got in an attempt to constantly improve.

      Pro Athletes never have problems with confidence or failure?  Then why do teams feel the need to hire sports psychologists?   Not directed at you but the brick wall you’re discussing this with.   Players are human.  They aren’t robots.

      Sure, just saying Stewart isn't that fair an example since you aren't getting the good with the bad.

      He was a -10 defensive player at a premium position. Would he not be happy with a Jeter? It wasn't that hard to figure out what I was talking about if you had stopped and thought for a second.

      Just personal preference, thats why the thread exists. I don’t want to have to laugh off bad plays. Im not sure Nelson Cruz would be a fun player to have on your team if he was playing the field every day.
