Mets Aggressive On Robinson Cano
6 years agoThe New York Mets are being "aggressive" in their pursuit of Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano and are hoping the M's sweeten their offer, according to a rival executive in touch with the team. New York is trying to capitalize on Seattle's wish to unload Cano and the remaining $120 million owed to him over the next five years. However, he's 36 years old and is coming off a performance-enhanced drug suspension. The Mets could try to use this deal to rid themselves of outfielder Jay Bruce while also trying to potentially land All-Star closer Edwin Diaz. The Mariners are willing to pay roughly $10 million annually of Cano's remaining contract. It all depends on how desperate Seattle is to move Cano, but he also has a full no-trade clause, which could complicate matters. Cano hit well when he returned from his suspension and could use a change of scenery.
