Jay Z Helps Robinson Cano Sign A Mega-Deal With The Mariners

In a stunning reversal that played out over a dozen or so dramatic hours, the Mariners have reportedly signed Robinson Cano to a 10-year, $240 million contract, ending his tenure with the Yankees.

Talks between the two sides hit a snag late Thursday night, a source said, after Cano’s camp asked for 10 years and $252 million. The Mariners had been under the impression that a nine-year, $225 million offer was going to get the deal done, leaving Seattle officials perplexed over the additional request.

But the Mariners ultimately caved on a 10th year, deciding the need for a marquee, face-of-the-franchise player was big enough to make the mammoth offer.


ESPN Deportes was the first to report the deal between Cano and the Mariners.
