Cano is obviously a great player. He's easily the most consistent guy of the last few years, and the best defensive 2b in the game. I don't want them to just let him walk, but $30 million is a LOT of money and it's just not right to pay anyone that. I just don't understand when teams are going to learn
years ago.....didn't matter then when i see my team spend a billion dollars and get ONE championship....it starts to sink in, hmmmmmm maybe its NOT the best strategy
Yankees won in the 90's with their farm system at the core. Past few World Series Champions have been teams with complimentary players, not just a bunch of superstars. Dodgers are working out nice this year but we'll see where the WS trophy ends up before we delcare LA brilliant for spending all that cash

They aren't a team full of superstars, outside of Pedroia and possibly Ortiz, they just have the right group of players that play for each other and that's gonna take them all the way.

Brandon Phillips sucks my Charles Dickens compared to Cano. Only thing BP does better than Cano is yammer on Twitter like an idiot.
I am looking forward to a slow period for the Yankees; farm is struggling, guys are getting old. About time they have a drought like the rest of us.

remember when Carlos Beltran's career was over and he was a waste of money?

Carlos Beltran has all these post season accomplishments, but spent most of his career with the Mets and Royals.
Pretty amazing

Seriously....the Cardinals are the exact blueprint of playoff baseball
just play solid all year, no one really talks about you, you lost your best player to free agency and it didn't change anything, as soon as Octobet hits you become the hottest team on the planet

Every other team is out winning 100 games and then 1 and done. The Cards won the division by just 3 games. They figure as long as they can get in that's all that matters. Seems to work for 'em.

I really do love Brian Cashman. He absolutely is trying desperately to just move on from this A-Rod thing. Because he knows there is not a way out. He's not getting suspended for the season. So go out there and tell everyone that we WANT him on the field. Because we are paying him a disgusting amount of money, he needs to EARN it, not sit at home and do nothing, because he'd just come back in 2015 and get paid the same but be a year older and a year removed from the game. And he's right about the fact that you can't just go and plug in some quasi-star at 3b to replace Alex. See how it worked for the Yankees when they replaced their talent this season....85 wins and no playoffs. Cashman is a smart guy. There's like 400 layers of bullcrap with this entire A-Rod sage, him saying what he said (that A-Rod at third base is the best option they have given the situation) at least takes the focus away from the "report" that the team doesn't want him. Whether Cashman is lying or just playing the game, he's saying the right things. Bottom line is this, they ed up with this contract....realize its the worst contract ever (next to Pujols' in a few years) but at this point it's BETTER FOR EVERYONE that A-Rod actually PLAYS the game he's being paid to play. They aren't trading him, he's not sitting out a season, they aren't voiding the contract. I'm sure that Cashman, and the Yankees in general wish that they could just get out of the contract and send A-Rod packing. But they aren't dumb enough to actually say that, and since they wouldn't be able to do it they better damn well wish to get what they can get from the guy for the next few years.

Hopefully the BoSox score some runs tonight. Buchholz better pitch like he did if we really want a chance at winning this series.

It was 5-1 Detroit when I turned the game on. The second Boston loaded the bases I flipped channels cause I knew there were about to win. Just clicked over to ESPN.com and saw it was 6-5 Boston final. Sometimes you just know bad things are about to happen.

Detroit should've won that game. Amazing come back but the way I look at it, they took a game @ Boston and have Verlander pitching at home for Game 3.
Entertaining series.
