    GREAT for them.  Now they need a middle reliever or two, one more bat and they've got a damn good team.

    So they pay $60MM for 5 years? 
    36 years old.
    He played for 14 years so far...tough to think he can keep it going.  That stated, he should be good for a few years, at least.  Some more enhancers and perhaps he is good for longer.

    Are any of those prospects good?  I know Bruce was terrible last year and I have no idea about Swarzak.

    Bruce has 2 more years and can be a good player, although even in his best years he has always been a hot/cold guy.  (Last year I don't think he ever got hot!)

    If any of those prospects are any good at all I think the Mariners got what they wanted.  Half rate on a shit contract belonging to a 36 year old juicer with 5 years remaining.

    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    So with the Bruce contract going back, I believe the difference in the Cano contract is only $26 mil.  So technically all things considered they are paying about $5 mil a year for Cano over Bruce.  Even if they were to cut him in a few years, that is more than reasonable.

    And Cano can still rake.

    And they get an absolutely stud reliever.

    But what about the last three years of the deal?
    Hope it works for both clubs how they like
    Diaz... You are right.  He's a fucking champ.
    *Edit - never mind, I see you considered the contract and if they cut him
    Don't post while on conference calls!

    I know I joked about this but I really really hope that the trade to the Mets doesn't go bad.  The Mets have been cursed in the past...

    But if you technically are paying $18 mil for this 3 years, is it really that bad?  Is $10 mil even that bad of a contract for Cano's 38 and on seasons, if you don't want to consider the Bruce contract savings on Cano?

    Like you hear cano and you think suspension, old, terrible contract. But when you look at this trade as a whole, I don't hate it at all.

    I don’t like the cano deal with the dollars now.

    Phillies are going to have one hell of a team next year.

    Segura has been traded a bunch of times.  Hopefully the Phillies keep him for a bit.  Good player.
