Change is inevitable...
175 or 150 with huge incentives. Take it or leave it.
So Robbie Cano is asking for $305 mil

He staying in pinstripes cuz no one else gonna be able to afford the contract he realistically deserves ($150 - $175 milly). The books on teams that can pay him are hit, unless the Rangers somehow ante up, but they the only team I can see dropping that kind of coin on him. No way he goes to an NL team and risk not having protection in the lineup.
He's moving to 1st in a couple years anyway, so there could be options.
I swear, tho, if he get someone to give him over $250
This,thyeres no team that can afford to pay him that
If he was a free agent last year hed be a Dodger but as much money as they have i cant see them giving him that type of cotnract after all the big ones they signed or traded for in the last year

its just an early negotiation figure
because yankees not paying him that. he'll go around and see he's not getting it from anybody else. that price will drop

Now if there is one player in baseball I can see getting 300 million dollars...it is Miggy...
I think no matter what next year the Dodgers through 250 at him easy... I think realistically he gets a starting offer at around say 230 or so...
Depending on what the rangers decide to do with their core I think they make a run at him to...
But most of all I think Detroit pays hims say...275 before any of the above ever happens...
I hope we keep him at any costs but our former minor league player owner is on his death bed and his kids could dial back payroll at any time. Plus he'll be 32 and his current injury humanizes him. Even with A-Rod and Pujols deals, we got Prince on a 9 yr deal and Verlander on 8 years already so we may as well lol

Did I say I didn't enjoy those 12 minutes? No. I said that to counter the argument that all baseball players do is stand around.
Keep up.

No. Throwing up the white flag would have been foul.
Deep down, Robbie doesn't wanna leave, and Hov doesn't wanna be the reason why Cano leaves, but this is gonna be his first major test, so we'll see.
The question is really, as the team r*******, will it make sense to keep him on a long deal when everything around him is gonna get replaced?
I think you keep him as the piece you build around, especially if Jeter can get you 2 more years of mere presence in the dugout. Any youth you bring in within or outside the organization will benefit from a prime star and the living legend.

I think everyone feels Jeter's done regardless after next year.
The good thing is that the new wave of players (assuming there's something called patience) will be up in a couple of years. Then they'll spend money to fix other holes.
It's just too bad Mason Williams won't get a chance to play alongside Jeter. He IMO will be the guy to carry the torch.
Isn't this how negotiations are supposed to work? Cano asks for a ridiculously high # and the Yanks offer a lowball $ amount. What's the big deal? There's no salary cap in baseball, so why are Yankee fans trying to play GM? The Yankees have the money. He's the franchise player. How does letting Cano go make the Yankees better? They're not the Mets or some franchise that'll suffer for handing out big contracts.

twofold.
They're trying to stay under the $189 luxury tax threshold next year to reset how much they pay in taxes going forward. That won't affect Cano as much, but it's a matter of years. The Yankees have no interest in paying him $25-$30 mil a year to be A-Rod now. If not for the exorbitant contracts they have now, $189 mil wouldn't be an issue, but they don't wanna have albatross contracts after what happened to A-Rod and Teixeira.
Letting Cano go doesn't make the team better, but at the same time given the direction the team is headed, there might not be much incentive to pay him $25 mil a year to watch him exit his prime on a struggling team
