[A Boy Named Seo]

I like how angry Jake looks on a cover about his contract is unresolved, but MAKES NO CENTS captured the whole feel about the Cano trade at the time. I think I remember the Cano rumor thread even started as something like, "but why in the world would we ever trade for that guy?"

Should be a ghosty photo of Dipoto gloating in the background (or maybe that's embedded in an Eddie Diaz pic) .

Words beginning with "D" dominate that News cover.

I voted Makes No Cents because years from now, nobody will remember Jake's contract negotiations, and I fear we'll be hearing about how good #1 prospect Jarred Kelenic is long after Cano retires.
