First of all, you kept hearing the Mariners were going to pay half the remaining salary, $50 to $60 million. Now we hear they are paying only 20 mil. That makes it worse. But again. These are like 2 separate trades here. You get Cano, and git rid of 2 bad contracts. Maybe almost a wash. You cant just kill getting Cano at 35, because you gave up 2 bad contracts. I still dont like having Cano for 5 more years.
Of coarse you have to love getting Diaz, one of the top few closers in the game and only 24 years old, and low salary for 4 years. That almost makes up for over paying Cano? Getting Diaz, giving up 3 prospects, you have to do it, but remember I am saying, Kelinic will be a stud.
