if you enjoy smog and 12+ million people, than go ahead

Just looked at the Mariners depth chart...yikes. Cano only cares about the money if he goes there.

Rip his career

When comparing cities unless you are LA, Do not compare your city to New York.

There's no winning there.

Eh... the rest of the major California cities residing on the coast are comparable to LA weather wise. But for a young, rich athlete, there's nothing like LA on the west coast.

I've been to San Diego and LA for ball games, enjoyed SD's stadium and the city better than I did LA. Being a superstar on the Padres would be ill

Let's not bring this General EC/WC beef in here

 

[Hahahaha]

I've lived in NY and Seattle, both beautiful places but its all about what you prefer and your personality. Cano has been in NY for almost a decade. He doesn't want anything to do with Seattle but the money sounds good.



I saw on MLB TV supposedly the Mariners expected Cano to accept and sign last night but they were livid when he didn't. Anyone hear anything?

 

[proshares]

Yea, it sounds like Jay-Z ****** it up.

They were set at 9/$225mm. Owner comes in (who hasn't been too involved face to face with negotiations) because he though it was done. Jay pops in and says they want 10 years. Owner lost it. Negotiations are "potentially" over.

[Hahahaha]

Mark Feinsand just reported that Jay said at the last minute, we want 10/252. Mariners owner flipped out and said we're out of it.


Like I said, I think this is just to try to get the Yankees to raise the price.

 

[proshares]

Marchand is reporting that Cano flew out with the state of mind that he was going to get an extra year from Seattle but Seattle thought he was coming in to sign the nine year deal.

So now, they're just reporting that he hasn't made up his mind.

 

[Hahahaha]

^ it's rumors I guess. We don't really know but they said, there was a 9/225 offer discussed before they jumped on the plane and that's why they were so mad when Jay said at the end 10/252. I guess who knows. Mariners expected him to sign last night.

JUST COME HOME ROBBIE

Mariners

 

[lightweight champion]

If the idea is to get the yanks to up the price why would you risk pushing the other bidders out? Makes no sense.

Gotta respect jay z boras

 

[johnnyredstorm]

so now dude wasn't upset at Jay-Z? i don't like this current state of news where people just make things up 90% of the time.

Get used to it, social media is the best and worst thing to happen to news/journalism.

Mariners made a splash, hope they have a plan to move those fences in.

 

[lyonbc1]

Mariners: HELL YOU DOIN?!?! Cano got paid, great for him but are you serious with that contract?!?! :x :x :x

Hov

 

[onewearz]

Jay z can suck my **** ...

Yea, this is all just one cluster **** of a situation hoping it becomes clearer on Tuesday.

 

[macbk]

Don't even stress it homie. Report came out earlier this morning that Cano wasn't even going to give us a hometown discount. He didn't want to stay here at the offers we were making him; he's in Seattle for the money and no reason more.

MLBN talking how perhaps Seattle sold him on their future . Team had about only 1.5M in attendance last season. Robbie has barely any support around him at the moment.

I think the Yankees will be the victors in this.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

man i'm shocked this dude HOV is sending Cano to Seattle. good for the mariners. lots of money and years, but they need someone that knows how to make contact.
