Switching sides? Yankees, Ellsbury close to 7 year/$150+ deal

[reedjohnsonfan]

Now Cano's feels betrayed and signs with the Jays.

 

Hopefully. We've seen some crazy things with this Jays' era, I think Cano is all but gone as a Yank to be honest, the Jays need a 2B and for what it's worth he is Dominican. That would make for a huge middle of the order albeit with a short window and potentially a disaster in a few years. But Reyes top of the order with Bautista/Cano/EE somewhere in the middle would be a scary lineup.

Pipe dreams. Cano will get his 8 or 9 year deal from someone, but it won't be the Jays.

[Angrioter]

You've said his second choice was the Blue Birds?

 

could be....at fair price.

Cano, Esmil's older brother and Sano at Tetelo vargas

Yep. Do it. Give him same deal as this.

Dominican winter league starting up??

[G-Snarls]

Cano loves Dominicans. Cano should sign with the Blue Jays. Case closed.

 

It's f***ing simple isn't it?

[GD]

He's basically a more inconsistent version of brett gardner but with a better average

 

I love Red Sox fans lol

I agree, but like you said, pipe dreams... literally :-)

Yanks probably know Arod is gone for at least 100 games which is what almost everyone expects so that alone gives them 20 mil which is almost Elsbury,s salary . I think they now squeeze Cano down to the 6/160 type # and tell hm now or we will walk away

[SAAviour]

I don't want to get my hopes up, but hasn't AA said in the right circumstance they would consider going longer then 5 years? Or is it a hard set in stone rule? How about stretching it to 7 for Cano....

Put the man on a mission to f*** the yanks with some Dominican brothers!

[GD]

I love Red Sox fans lol

 

I just spend an hour arguing with these people who think batting average is the end all be all and that you can't quantify the cost of a win and are just baaaaaaad. I love red sox fans.

[kcjaysfan]

Why do all the things have to happen now? I'm trying to write a f***ing paper, goddammit!

[Chappy]

So the Yankees blow the bank on Ellsbury but want to play hard ball with Cano. Makes zero sense. Ellsbury a great talent but he has not done what Cano has done on a consistent basis. Not even close. Hope the Yankees lose him.

 

Yeah they should just give him $300 million no questions asked. That's the way to do it.

That's your first mistake right there.

I've been saying this was gonna happen since the Reyes/Bonifacio/Rogers/Melky deals were made and then during the WBC.

[Chappy]

Pretty sure I didn't say that all. But nice try.

 

You suggested they shouldn't play hardball with Cano.

[Ziggyy108]

Bautista

Encarnacion

Reyes

Melky

Rogers

Perez

Sierra

 

All are dominican

 

Ubaldo is also dominican. I think AA has been linked to him a couple times in the past.

[Chappy]

Yes but where did I say give him 300 million?

 

Guess this one just went over your head. Forget about it.

That little band is killings my fun.They're so good.

 

Joking? They are garbage, generic crap band.

I agree, but like you said, pipe dreams... literally :-)

 

So it's literally like dreaming about pipes? Like drain pipes?

 

I'm loving 3 Days Grace

 

I love Three Days Grace. Though I don't give a s*** what other people think and I also love Seether, Disturbed, Imagine Dragons and Shinedown, all bands that various people have their issues with.

Yeah, someone from Chicago nitpicking one of the worst stats in the history of sports to paint a prettier picture of a White Sox player. Big surprise here.

 

Everyone involved/associated with the White Sox is either a dumb f***ing redneck, or a blind, retarded homer. Or/likely both.

 

Konerko cost his team 2 Wins last year while Ellsbury provided his team 6 Wins. But who gives a s*** about a difference of $50-$60M value in a single season, herp derp, RBIs.

As long as you don't like nickelback.

I swear to god I knew someone would mention Nickelback as I was writing that post. I thought about them like five times when I was mentioning bands people hate.

 

I like some of their older stuff. I'm not well-versed in the Nickelback-loathing though, are songs like "Burn it to the Ground" frowned upon as well?
