Last Thursday there were reports that Robinson Cano was looking for a crazy 10-year, $305 million deal from the Yankees. Well he was asked about it over the weekend and here’s what he had to say about it…
Via NYPost:
…the second baseman continued to deflect questions about his future.
“I know what we’re doing and what we’re not doing,” Cano said before Friday night’s game against the Astros at Minute Maid Park. “I don’t listen to anybody else.”
He insisted the $310 million number hadn’t been leaked by his camp.
When asked why he thought the Yankees had floated the number, Cano said: “I didn’t say which side said what. I just said it wasn’t my side.”
The Yankees, according to sources, countered Cano’s request with an offer in the $160 million range.
Whether the two sides can come to a middle ground will go a long way in determining the team’s future for the coming years.
