Robinson Cano

Robinson Cano - Seattle Mariner

Heh. Heh heh. Hehahahaha. HAAAhaahhahahahah. HAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!11!!1!

Seriously, screw those out there that are wringing their hands at the cost.
::mockingly whiny:: "Nine years! $240 Million." ::Pretends to swoon::

1) It ain't your money. Why do you care?

2) It doesn't hinder their acquiring additional resources. They could, quite literally, make FOUR MORE of these blockbuster contracts THIS YEAR and still be fine financially. There is no salary cap. They have money coming out of their ears.

3) If Robinson gets bad as he gets older then you trade him or cut him and eat the money. It's been done MANY times before. That's how it GOES.

4) This move legitimizes the organization. Without hyperbole. They weren't a legitimate baseball club before. One day later, they are.

This is cause for celebration. Celebrate.

Domino Effect
Franklin will be moved as part of a trade package for a legit hitting outfielder. Giancarlo, I'm still looking at you.

Other free agents are about to be signed. Catcher, DH, SP, RP, and OF. The team missed out on the catcher train so there are only dregs left. That means that a minor trade for a catcher must be in discussion. Nothing that would block Zunino for a long time, just a guy that'll let him develop.

OMG

This is awesome. Welcome to Seattle, Robinson. Welcome back, modicum of hope. I've missed you.
