He took the money over a potential championship in NY and who could blame him? Has there ever been a ten year deal that actually ended up being a good one? Odds are Cano has had his best season already and will decline in the next year or two, then the M's still have to pay him 8 more years. Then again maybe this signing will be like Pudge going to Detroit. Might make the M's more attractive to free agents if they want to spend the cash, and turn the franchise around. Worked in Detroit.
