LOL too bad the Mets can't buy out the last two years of his contract, although at least they have an owner who can pay him enough money to go away if they really wanted.

Lol

What a moron.

I do wonder what would happen if teams remained on the hook for salaries of players suspended for PEDs - maybe they'd have the incentive to keep them clean? More likely they'd have the incentive to keep their use secret, unless you could use an independent testing and suspension body tat wasn't reliant on the owners' acquiescence.

Interestingly, Cano's contract, which has been regularly derided, has actually been pretty good outside of his two suspensions. Four and a half good years in Seattle, one bad year, one good partial year, and one lost year (at zero salary) for the Mets, with two years to go. If you told me up front how the first eight years of that deal would have gone, I'd have signed the dotted line too.

As for Cano, again, what a moron. There go his Hall of Fame chances - eight All Star games, two Gold Gloves, four Silver Sluggers, five straight top-6 MVP finishes, a ring, 69 WAR, and an outside chance at 3000 hits.

f***ing idiot. Stupid and selfish

Why cheat? He is already making ton of money. What's the point?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good bye. It’s a shame the Mets can’t void his deal.

This guy is a clown. This is twice he has been caught using steroids.

It kind of explains the boost he had in his statistics this year, doesn't it?

 

[jcs0218]

Probably to boost his statistics so he could get one last contract after his current one is done.

Greed.

 

[Halladay]

Dating back to his early year with the Yankees he didnt seem like the brightest person.

The one he got caught with last time, Furosemide, actually has real medicinal uses and is banned because it can be used as a masking agent for other steroids.

However, the one he got caught with this time, Stanozolol, has few practical uses other than something bodybuilders use to improve their physique and other performance-enhancing uses.

He won't be able to explain the presence of it other than he was trying to cheat.

His HOF chances were probably already almost non-existent, due to his 1st positive PED test a couple of years ago.

But being a repeat offender definitely ruins any small chance he had.

The "whale" of a story is probably just Robby has dick for brains.

 

[JeremyTB]

He probally thought that MLB would be so distracted with Covid that he wouldn't be tested.

well they can let him know he won’t br welcome back next winter. The Wilpons would of not done that and they would of not used the 24M that Cano is forfeiting this season to make the club better. Read today they have 84 million to get to the luxury tax threshold

I would assume the same. His time in the majors might be done.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

What an idiot. I thought he still had a shot at HOF even with the first positive test. He’s been that good as a 2B but now he’s officially done. Complete moron

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Lol. This is entertaining though I give you that.

Greed.

His current contract takes him until 42. You really think there was one last lucrative contract left in him? Imo this seems more like an ego thing. Just Not being able to accept his skills were going away.

 

[MS]

I actually wondered if this was what was up after he turned back the clock a decade with the bat last year after looking washed up in 2019.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Clearly the Mets FO gave it to him without him knowing so he would get easily detected and off the books
