Report: Mariners, Robinson Cano agree to 10-year, $240-million deal
The Robinson Cano sweepstakes have reportedly come to an end. He's a Mariner:
#Mariners and Cano agree. $240 million/10 years. Physical next monday in Seattle
— Enrique Rojas/ESPN (@Enrique_Rojas1) December 6, 2013
Others are confirming Rojas' report. Cano has left New York for Seattle, and for millions upon millions of dollars. It's the third-richest deal in MLB history.
The deal is pending Monday's physical. The Yankees have been informed, tweets USA Today's Bob Nightengale.
By signing Cano, the Mariners will forfeit a sandwich pick between the first and second rounds of the 2014 draft to the Yankees. Their first-round pick was protected, thanks to their awful 2013.
Looking forward to seeing the marketing opportunities for Robinson Cano in Seattle. Seafood, flannel, rain barrels.
