@@brockontop It wouldn’t have made a difference if he did hustle, because speed wasn’t an aspect of his game to begin with. No need to waste that energy.
I agree it was a mistake. He did test positive for PEDs, but if you were to ask me if I'd rather have Brian McCann and Jacoby Ellsbury or Robinson Cano, the answer is always Cano. Those two players did basically nothing for the Yankees whereas Cano still put up good numbers in Seattle. We should've just signed Cano and Tanaka and called it an offseason.
This dude could’ve had his 24 retired, but instead went to Seattle and declined year by year. You could tell he regretted leaving NY by how he played. It seemed like his heart wasn’t in it as much while in Seattle
No, not really. He loved being a Mariner. He played the same as he always did as a Yankee. Solid hitting, smooth fielding, always a smile on his face, celebrating with teammates, all for a fanbase that embraced him since day one and played meaningful baseball 3 of his 5 years there. I'm not trying to talk the Mariners up or talk the Yankees down but as an M's fan I saw Robbie 162 days a year. I'll absolutely defend his time with us. It was such a pleasure having him that seeing how poorly he did with the Mets came as a genuine shock.
LegendaryNoCon I loved Cano as a yankee fan....I wanted to overpay him for less years. The Yankees couldn’t do 10 years but I wish we would have over payed for 7 or 8. I mean we ended up giving his money to Jacoby Ellsbury. Yuck. I feels like we only got the negative perception of his time in Seattle. Dude was a stud. Yankee fan hated his not busting out the box, casual play but I was happy dude would be penciled in for 158 every year.
Robinson Cano is what you call greedy. The Yankees offered him 7 years for 165-170 Million all while still having Arod's contract in tact. Cano was 31 when given that huge contract by Seattle, 7 years was a great offer which he didn't take. Instead got greedy and took 240 for 10 years. He didn't even finish out his contract in Seattle. If he had taken the contract with the Yankees he'd still be in pinstripes this year, he'd have played playoff baseball at least 4 times from 2014-2019. Instead chose money to play on a team that has not made the playoffs since 2001. Greed at its best. Yankees lucked out though, Cano seemed finished as an elite player after 5 years with the Mariners and 1 with the Mets.
@@CJ-rc5ru Find me those reports. Cause right now I've got five years worth of proof so I'm gonna need a bit more than just you being rude to convince me otherwise
I was at the game where he hit that Grand Slam against Detroit. I was sitting on the other side in the second deck of left field. One of the best games I've been to. I really thought they were gonna win in all that year but then Verlander and Scherzer happened lmao.
Thomas Storff spoken like a true fan. It wasn’t meant to be because the Yankees got burned by A-Rod’s contract and Seattle was desperate for his all-around presence to become quasi-relevant. Nobody complains when Torres and Judge put up MVP numbers on $600K so nobody should complain when a guy decides to pursue the maximum money
He still is. Top 3 2B in franchise history and won a ring. Multiple top 5 MVP finishes. Multiple All-Star games. Yankees have been blessed to have had Soriano / Cano / Torres in succession, 3 of the best 2B offensive threats in recent history
Detroit owned the Yanks in Oct......for a long time the Yankees feared the Angels. But Detroit knocked the Yankees out in 2006 in 4, 2011 in 4 and 2012 a 4 game sweep)....and the Yankees NEVER get swept so that was an embarrassing own.

I don’t fully agree here. By that logic Dynastic teams shouldn’t exist. How come the Houston Astro’s made it to the ALCS 5 years running and to the World Series 3 times in 5 years. How come the Yankees made it to the World Series 6 times in an 8 year span. How come the Dodgers have made it to the World Series 3 out of 4 years. Those types of runs don’t sound random, there must be a common denominator. The common denominator is creating a complete, fundamentally sound ball club from top to bottom. I agree in that there obviously is a large “random” factor in who will win any given series. But when you get to series of length, specifically 7 game series, I think the random meter is minimized and the truly better constructed team playing its best comes out on top. Hence why the teams I mentioned above, who all were clearly among if not the best teams during the regular season, routinely went on to achieve success in the postseason.
@@7curto Houston won the WS once in all those tries....thats what I'm looking at.

His swing is up there with some of the smoothest effortless swings ever
Truthfully I have Griffey at one and Cano at 2 because as you said smoothest effortless swing
His swing and throwing are basically the same. Looks like he doesn’t even try.
Effortless like his baserunning 😛. Love Robbie but his hustle was just non existent
@@brockontop It wouldn’t have made a difference if he did hustle, because speed wasn’t an aspect of his game to begin with. No need to waste that energy.
I think cano's swing is better than Griffey's, no lie
"Robbie Cano, well don't cha know!!!!" That will never get old, EVER!!
If he stayed with the Yankees, he has a spot in monument park and the Hall of Fame.
Thank god he tested positive in Seattle 😂😂😂
i'll never forgive the Yankees for letting him go man ....that dude was next in line after Jeter to be the next Yankee great
They didn’t want to pay him on the backend
The yankees offer was more money per season then what he got with Seattle. The yankees just didnt want to go 10 years for Cano
They could of gave it to him not only was he great glove but a great bat too. Imagine him not with Torres fielding n hitting
I agree it was a mistake. He did test positive for PEDs, but if you were to ask me if I'd rather have Brian McCann and Jacoby Ellsbury or Robinson Cano, the answer is always Cano.

There was something about the way Cano dropped the bat when he hit it that was so satisfying
Maravilloso... Saludos desde la república Dominicana 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Miss these Yankees
Miss you cano of the yankees 😞
He still had 10 great seasons with the yankees
Cano wasnt worried about having his shirt ripped His wife must have been cool with it.

Robe Cano Dont Ya Know !!!
KOD my favorite album of the past 10 years
first home run sterling says hit in the air to deep left lol...
cano got a bad rap by many yankee fans who questioned his effort.. for 7 years in a row cano played 159 out of 162 games.. that shows me effort..
Should do Top 10 Greatest O'Neill Home Runs
Can you please do Jorge?!
I loved his swing even as a Mets fan so sad that he threw his legacy away at the end smh
John made a mistake for his first hr supposed to be hit in the air to deep right
After he left the Yankees his career went downhill with the play first and then the steroids just killed him for good.
Best 2B in baseball when he was with the Yanks though
At 4:12 after he gave up the hr. He went right for the pine tar
Giambi?
Wasn’t Cano who hit one of the three grand slams in one game back in 2011?
Yeah
Never should have left the Yankees.
Could be been a great followup to the Fab four
Fab 5. It's disrespectful to Bernie Williams to exclude him
On his first homerun he hits it to right field but the announcer says deep left
Cano fr shelled tommy hunter
Was a big mistake for Cano to leave from New York. He has never played a postseason game since he left NY.
Nah he made an extra 60 mill from Seattle
✉️
Best swings of all time:
1. Ken Griffey Jr.
2. Robinson Cano
But unlike Jr. he killed his hof chances.
Yankee stadium so small tho Lmfaoo 🤦🏻♂️ but he was nice tho
