They'll let him walk before they do that. I would hope they learned from the Arod contract. "Never seen a payroll on a ring" "Leave the gun, take the cannoli "

The trend on these decade long, 200 million dollar contracts will start to phase out, with the new CBA taking effect. Otherwise, they will have to up the cap. Only so much room for guys like that in the league, as there aren't enough teams that can afford them, and the ones that can can't fill the roster with them.

Cleese Posts: 4,178	If Cano continues to put up the same numbers he has the last 2 years and continue to improve, the Yankees better be prepared to pony up big dollars for Cano. Boras will nickel and dime the Yankees to death. Cano is hands down the best 2nd baseman in baseball and is just entering the prime of his career which should last for the next 4-5 years. Cano will be 31 when (and if) he hits free agency. My guess is Boras' will try to get a contract that is about 8 Yr/$195 Mil ($24.3 per)
