I don't have a clue. What's obvious is they wanted nothing to do with Cano. Maybe it's the Jay Z association, or that Cano is very friendly with A Rod and several other admitted PED users.

Now they have 5 OF..possibly they get Soirano to DH.then Bret Gardner can play when Ellsbury goes down..which will be often. See, problem solved..

All great points. Cano will be screaming to be traded within 3 years when he realizes that he’s playing in a black hole city of MLB. And I’m sure Cano takes his “vitamins”, too.

Maybe the NYY can shift Ellsbury to 2nd base or SS; he should be able to throw to home from the infield, right?

Granderson to the NYM looks like the best “big name” FA signing so far.
