Another Baseball Extortionist Seeks His Grand Payday

If New York Yankees management should ultimately succumb to superstar second baseman Robinson Cano’s attempt to extort $305 million through the signing of a ten-year contract which would take him to the age of 40, it will have demonstrated itself to be deserving of a psychiatric evaluation and to have learned nothing from the fiasco of providing a comparable package to Alex Rodriguez, who has proven to be a monumental embarrassment to the team, having failed New York both in quality of play, physical condition, and in gross deficiency of character and integrity.

The Yankees' stunning $230 million payroll (an average of more than $9 million for every player on the twenty-five man roster) got it nowhere this year.  How wonderful it would be if the greed of “for sale to the highest bidder” resulted in no team coming forward to pay a king’s ransom to the shameless Cano.
