MLB Network is saying that everyone except Mitch Haniger, Edwin Diaz and Marco Gonzalez may have "marked down, must go" tags on them. You would think that this is a team that borderline playoff. The last WC in the AL is up for grabs. The Athletics will regress, Toronto might need a year to graft the newcomers onto the current roster and God knows what to make of Tampa. Past those three teams (and NY, Boston, Cleveland and Houston, of course), the AL sucks. And the longest playoff drought tag has to hurt (take it from a Bills fan). But the farm system is as barren as a rice paddy in Saudi Arabia. And the M's have some horrific contracts. I do believe that they should try to do something to sneak a WC this year. The window is closing. The AL does suck, but the Jays are a year away, the White Sox are moving in the right direction, Oakland could be back if they could keep a starting pitcher healthy and the worst is over in Detroit. Of course, Baltimore tired to try to remain competitive rather than rebuilding this season and that didn't go well.
Oh, that Robinson Cano contract...

Justus Sheffield is MLB ready. You might be loving this on in a couple years. Mariners are rebuilding, Paxson won’t help, he’s 31. Sheffield is one of the top SP prospects. |

There was no reason to rebuild. They won 89 games last year. The A's were a fluke. The Astros will be without Keuchel, Morton and McCullers next year. They should have re-signed Cruz, found a centerfielder that didn't cost them their catcher and tried to get Kikuchi. I have followed this team religiously for 42 seasons. I am sick of taking two steps back. I am too old for this crap. Jerry Dipoto can join Clayton Bennett in the 4th circle of Hell.

I'd be pretty shocked if they included a player beyond Edwin Diaz. When it was first reported a few days ago as just the Mets wanting to trade Bruce for Cano so long as the Ms ate a big chunk of the delta in their contract values, I scratched my head. When it later was reported that, in addition to those two being involved, the Mets would get either Mitch Haniger OR Edwin Diaz and they'd include a prospect of theirs (of which they don't have many), it made a lot more sense. Yeah, the Ms are giving up a lot but really, in the abstract, they're trading Diaz away to get out of the last 3 years of Cano's deal (with Jay Bruce eating up the next 2 years). If they include another player in addition to that without getting another piece in return, than that's a pretty steep price. As a Met fan though, I love this deal! And yeah, I know Cano and his PEDs and all that, but the truth is that you wake him on christmas morning, he's gonna hit .295 and get on base at a .350 clip. I'll take that any day of the week and they can shift Jeff McNeil back to 3rd....and then just shoot Todd Frazier. If they land Edwin Diaz, it's a really good deal. Don't see anything about Haniger being included, it would be one or the other. |

I guess they want out from under his (awful) contract. 5 years, $120m left for a guy who is 36. I hear you, and if I'm an Mariners fan, I certainly don't love the idea of getting rid of both Diaz and Cano simply to free up money...and thankfully I'm not! |

The contract is insane. he will have the Roid issue hanging over his head forever (see Braun, Ryan for example). And he's reported to be clubhouse cancer? Why did the Yankees make no effort to resign a middle IF who hit 27 HR, 107 RBI and .314? Why was the Mariners best 80 game stretch the 80 game stretch when Cano was at home playing with himself? |

Why was the Mariners best 80 game stretch the 80 game stretch when Cano was at home playing with himself? Cano is popular in the Clubhouse and a leader. It was when he was away last year that the clubhouse started having problems. Gordon and Segura did not get along. Cruz and Gordon were also suspended for steroids yet the Mariners acquired them. Cano is still highly productive. There has been no decline yet. AND for the last 30 games of his suspension, the Mariners were playing true worst baseball of the season. |
