Cano suspension

I’m guessing Mariners brass knew about this issue before they acquired Dee Gordon.

Gordon will go back to full time 2B, right?

Why? Cano has multiple years left on his contract, so if the Mariners are thinking long-term they continue to develop Dee Gordon as a centerfielder and plug Cano back at second base in August and for the next 4 years. Just my two cents.

Mariners and Cano both learned about it just before the season started and he appealed, so I don't think so.

Robinson Cano notes to self:

1) Duck.
2) When making millions of dollars a year, don't rely on "certified" physician in the Dominican Republic.
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

So agree.

It's outrageous that Cano blames an unknown doctor in a country far away.
A little like Braun blaming the delivery person.
Take responsibility!
You cheated and got caught. Own it!
So much more respect for that.
Now, Cano goes down as a cheater AND a liar.
On my tombstone-
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!
