Robinson Cano headed to Mariners: 10 years, $240 million

[Bob Loblaw's Law Blog]

Terrible move by the Mariners' front office.

That's a ridiculous contract for a 31 year old 2B.

These mega dollars/years contracts so rarely work out. By the time someone gets one of these, they are usually much more injury-prone and their skills start to noticeably decline within a couple of years.

When will teams learn to wrap up the Trouts, Stanton's, Kershaw's, Machado's and Harper's (20-24 yr olds) for 8-10 years instead of the 30 yr olds who are already halfway through their prime. You want to pay for future performance instead of past performance.
