The Seattle Mariners(!) have signed Robinson Cano to a ten year $240 million dollar contract.
Wow.

As a bitter Mets fan, I have two words for Seattle: Roberto Alomar...
Alomar had arguably his best year at 31, another brilliant year at 33...and was absolutely done at 35. A cautionary tale that is certainly a little food for thought. In the grand scheme of things, I think the Yankees made the right choice backing off and letting Seattle take all the risks this one.

Speaking of "Grand" and the Yankees - coming soon! the Mets sign a good free agent that fills a desperate need at market price - and it isn't April Fools Day!
