He would've never went to Seattle and got 10yrs

They low balled him at 7 for $160

Get a a grip man. If you add 3 years at 20 mil a piece then you have 10 years 220 mil.... what it came down to was years. It's simply not smart to sign anyone into their 40s. 7 years 160 is not low balling....can the spin doctors simply say Cano cared more about money than winning in nyc....

so to hell with cano because he wasn't that good. Numbers say one thing, the fact we missed the playoffs and he disappeared in all the other playoff appearances he's made says the real truth.

I just hate that we low balled one of our own home grown Yankees

Sulking lol.... my phone jumps around when I'm moving.

Don't cry for Cano. At the end of the day he wanted more money and years. So he left. That's the real truth.

Right now we need to talk about who we're gonna replace him with. And what's the plan for 3rd base

Just because we were stupid with Arod does not mean you make the same mistake.

The moment we inked Ells was when we let him walk. Fans go to see cano or go see the team.

Robbie could be seen as a lazy superstar and in the era of no roids to heal he might be seen as injury prone on the back end of that contract.

As for Ellsbury and his deal, well of course we over paid. Mets, Yanks, Knicks, Nets, etc all have to in order to deal with the media and crap to play in NY. All things the same, players don't come here. All things the same, I'd do the same thing.

I Like Robbie and he was our best player but for that money? WE don't want to be the Angels now do we? The team to emulate is the Cards who grow their own and use assets to make trades. They let Pujals leave to a silly contract and life after is really ok. Young team went to the series. They have a good mix of young and experienced!

Kudo's to the yanks for drawing the line.

i AGREE, and while we overpaid for Ells, look at his numbers compared to Carl Crawford who got 143 mil.. lets say we overpaid ells by 30 mil over the life of the contract.. well in a year where there are just not a lot of quality FA's and he gives us the tools we really lack. we could have done a lot worse.

i will miss Cano, but the asking price was ridiculous. as you said, you have to draw the line somewhere..

I miss Mickey Rivers........

But why them throw crazy money at Cruz(steroid user) and Choo now

Out infield blows
Tex - blows
Kelly Johnson - ok I guess wtf
Jeter - at the stage in his career where he will be on and off the DL
Arod - nothing to say
McCann - terrific signing

Unless your signing willie freaking mays at age 25, you don't do 10 year deals unless he can do the roids.

Willie Mays never hit a HR in the post season. He only had 6 hits in 71 at bats. Cano has 8 post season HR's

Address pitching first and foremost. We got some major holes to fill with Pettite and Rivera retiring.

Also, use the dam farm system for once. Can't always overspend for veteran name clunkers.
