- It would be the largest deal in baseball history. Cano is a really good player, but he shouldn't be that guy. Dustin Pedroia just took 8 years for $110 million, and it's obnoxious of Cano to think he's worth more than double what Pedroia is.
- Currently the most expensive contract ever is Alex Rodriguez's 10 years at $275 million, of which he still has four more years left to go. The Yankees were hoping he'd get a lifetime ban for steroids to help get them out of that one.
- If that's not bad enough, look at the ten year deal Albert Pujols just signed, of which he still has 8 more to go at roughly $24 mil per year. The 32 year old Pujols hit .258 with 17 home runs and 64 RBI's this season; have fun paying him when he's 40 Anaheim.
- Cano is 30, and a 10 year deal would probably land whoever signed him in the same boat as the Yankees with ARod and the Angels with Pujols, and that is not a boat anyone should ever want to be in again.
- Why ask for three hundred and five million? Seriously? That extra 5 just makes it all the more asinine.
