[kcmets]

Agreed, word for word.

Newsday has a quote from Van Wegenen today, identifying him as Cano's current agent, as COO of Roc Nation sports: https://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/mets/robinson-cano-dfa-mets-roster-cuts-q7dizz3dhttps://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/mets/robinson-cano-dfa-mets-roster-cuts-q7dizz3d

Thank you.

No one's happier than I am--I hated Cano as a Yankee, as a Mariner, as a Met--but devil's advocate that I am, why not send Jankowski down now? Does he not have options? Is there some other reason this particular bullet had to be bitten today?

[Edgy MD]

Jankowski does not have options. The team was forced to remove two players from the big league roster.



The next best option was probably trying to sneak Trevor Williams through waivers.

When I saw Roger_that's comment I immediately went to your roster thread* to check and answer.

Some players had a blank in their status notes, Jankowski had a "0".

I wasn't sure what the difference is.

Thanks.

Even if Jankowski did have options, he is a more important piece to the roster as currently constructed than Smith/Cano who were pretty redundant with each other. Jankowski is the best defensive outfielder on the roster and the fastest runner BY FAR of the players who dont start most days. He is needed on the bench, unless you are replacing him with Kalil Lee.

[Edgy MD]

Well, it's roger_that who brought up Travis J. He asked if Janky had options, and I replied that, nay, he doth not.

They almost assuredly would have optioned Guillorme or Davis, or possibly released Jankowski outright. It's great to have an ownership that makes decisions based on actual baseball considerations rather than financial ones.

Mets winless in the post-Canó era.

With a special jersey for him that has a giant hole between the '2' and the '4', for the fork sticking out of his back.

[Willets Point]

Do the Padres pick up his contract if they sign Cano, or is that still on the Mets books? Not that Cohen can't afford it.

[G-Fafif]

Pads would pay the prorated minimum.

[Frayed Knot]

3/23, all singles, 1 BB, 5 Ks as a Padre

[Ceetar]

doesn't mean much, but Smith hasn't been particularly good either. The Mets still need another bat.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

It appears the Padres are done with Cano as well. He's likely to decline a return to the minors and become a free agent. End of the line?

Well, it's all right, even if the sun don't shine....

[Frayed Knot]

Padres have indeed released Cano.

[Edgy MD]

Your move, Reds.

[G-Fafif]

The Braves have traded for Robinson Cano, who's been getting his swing back with the El Paso Chihuahuas, the Padres' Triple-A affiliate.

[Edgy MD]

That's weird though. That's like one of those LA Law episodes where the try to throw the prosecuting attorney off her game by hiring her ex-husband to represent the defendant.



Are the Braves not hot enough that they feel they need to fuck with the Mets' psyches?

[kcmets]

I've never seen an full episode of LA Law.

Probably never a consecutive ten minutes tops.



It would be humorous if he he tests positive next couple of weeks

for something new and whatever.

[roger_that]

It won't be humorous if he has three good games left in him but they're his next three games. Imagine paying a guy millions to take you out of first place for the first time all year.

[Lefty Specialist]

Braves definitely trolling the Mets here. Watch him have a great series.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Robinson Cano in a Braves uniform is the best thing ever. They are welcome to anyone else we release, too.

[G-Fafif]

A thread title that works for multiple DFAs of Robinson Cano, this time by the Braves.

In nine games with the Braves, Cano hit .154/.185/.192.

[RealityChuck]

I guess it's rerun season.

[Frayed Knot]

Cano was 4 for 26 as a Brave.

Three of those hits came in a seven AB span vs the Mets in his first two games with Atlanta. After that he went 1-fer-19

[Benjamin Grimm]

So, who's next?



I'm going to guess, for no particular reason, Kansas City.
