The Mariners have emerged as a major player in the Robinson Cano sweepstakes,
several sources told Wallace Matthews of ESPNNewYork.com. With the Yankees
not wanting to go to seven years or as much as $200MM, an industry source
with knowledge of the negotiations termed the Yankees chances of retaining
Cano at "less than 50-50."

洋基不想簽7年，或總值超過200MM的大約，留Cano機率只剩一半一半
That source said that the chances of the five-time All-Star second baseman
staying in the Bronx "don't look too good right now." For what it's worth,
Mariners GM Jack Zduiencik wouldn't confirm to ESPNNewYork's Andrew Marchand
that he has met with Cano. Sources familiar with the negotiations between
the Bombers and Cano say that the Yankees believe Seattle is willing to give
him an eight-year, $200MM deal.
洋基認為水手可能會出到8年200MM
The Yankees reportedly came to Cano with a seven-year, $160MM offer. An
insider said the club might be willing to increase their offer, but not by a
ton. New York could go to $175MM over seven years, good for an average
salary of $25MM. According to a source who was briefed on their last
meeting, the Yankees have rejected the idea of any deal longer than seven
years for Cano based on their own history of bad deals, including Alex
Rodriguez's ten-year, $275MM pact, and the deals given to Albert Pujols, Josh
Hamilton, and Ryan Howard. Meanwhile, Cano's side painted him as not only
"the best player on the board,'' but also as the best player in baseball and
someone who is "indispensable'' to the Yankees, the source said.
大爛約前車之鑑太多，洋基不想再當冤大頭，
One baseball insider said that it now comes down to whether Cano wants to be
a Yankee or wants to get paid. The Yankees believe they got that answer when
Cano's party allegedly asked for a ten-year, $310MM deal from the club during
the season. Cano has since denied making such a request.
