Cano confirms new agents have yet to start contract talks with Yankees

Austin Romine's Big Chance
Nunez improves in the field, now it's time to hit

Via Andrew Marchand: Robinson Cano confirmed his new representatives at CAA Sports and Jay-Z’s Roc Nation have yet to begin contract talks with the Yankees. Jon Heyman says the team “prominently mentioned” David Wright’s eight-year, $138M contract with the Mets as framework for a deal.

Cano, 30, is hitting .324/.378/.608 (165 wRC+) in 111 plate appearances so far this season. I don’t think he hooked on with Jay-Z to leave New York, and I do expect the two sides to sit down and hammer out a new contract before the end of the season. Wright’s contract seems like a pipe dream though. My hunch is they work something out in the eight-year, $190M range. It would top Derek Jeter’s total guarantee and be the second biggest deal for a middle infielder in history behind Alex Rodriguez’s pact with the Rangers. That’s just a guess though.
