    I get why cano is annoyed at the ellsbury contract, he should be. The thing is the Yankees are willing to give out a lot of really really big contracts but won't do idiotic contracts like arod anymore.

    This is a fucking mess

    Great stuff from feinsand on twitter. Mariners thought they were set, jay z asked for a 10th year and the CEO "exploded" and ended the meeting

    The thing is, none of this makes any sense. You don't fire boras, the guy who has basically negotiated every big deal ever and hire jay z if you are trying to chase every last penny. You hire jay z to make money in New York. Just fucking sign

    And up it to 252, which I think is the bigger deal. The uneducated will believe anything, and obviously Cano see "JAY Z"!!!! and creams himself.

    How do you fire the best guy in the business for maxing deals for a rapper? How is that guy even allowed to lead these negotiations?

    I don't. You make $170 million, why does it matter if someone else makes $153? He's being a baby if he's upset. He's entitled to make any decision he wants. He can take Seattle's money and I hold nothing against him. Purely business decision and that's fine. It would be a TERRRIBLE business decision (how much are regional commercials paying in Seattle?), but it's his decision to make.

    The Yankees need to pony up another $5 to $10 million to salve the wound and allow him and Jay to save face and move on. It's like Ross and Rachel. Everyone knows they're going to end up together (even though in real life it's completely inexplicable - wait. That was just Ross and Rachel. Cano staying put makes all the sense in the world for both sides, especially Cano - the Yankees get to continue to be the Yankees. Cano only has 1 chance to be relevant).
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    Eh. Jay is looking for a way out of this (or is it Mr. Z?). He totally f'd this up and needs to save face. He never intends to put a player in Seattle, so he doesn't care if he pisses the owner off. He's a commercial retailer, not a sports agent.

    I get it to some degree, although players really should only be concerned about themselves. But this is somewhat why I was annoyed at the Ellsbury contract. Paying him that much is setting/changing a standard.
    If you buy a house, they check comparable prices in the area to judge what its worth. I'd bet that this happens to some degree in the business of baseball too. Everyone sees the ridiculous Ellsbury contract. And now if they dont get ridiculous with Cano, they risk losing him.

    Wow. I was dead wrong. Cano took the money. Good luck.

    You gotta be fucking kidding me. I am still surprised though.
    Ok, let me see how this sounds: Go Mets? Go Marlins? Yeah, fuck the Yankees. I'm picking a new team. :evil:

    actually, never mind...that was stupid what I said. I dont blame the Yankees for not wanting another ARod mistake. But I gotta wonder how much this terrible Ellsbury contract ruined their chances.

    Zero, the Yankees stated from the beginning they weren't going above $200 or even close to that.
