Fri Feb 10 202313:34Robinson Cano Playing In World Baseball Classic
Free-agent second baseman Robinson Cano is on Team Dominican Republic's roster for the 2023 World Baseball Classic. The 41-year-old played in only 33 major-league games for the New York Mets, San Diego Padres and Atlanta Braves in 2022, but he could serve as a capable bat off the bench against right-handed pitchers in the tournament. In his 104 plate appearances last year, he hit just .150 with a home run, four RBI and five runs scored. The eight-time All-Star has yet to officially retire, but he remains a free agent with spring training starting for pitchers and catchers next week.

Sat Jul 23 202208:43Robinson Cano Removed Due To Dizziness On Friday
Atlanta Braves infielder Robinson Cano (head) was removed from Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels due to dizziness. His removal came in the third inning before his first at-bat of the game. Orlando Arcia came in as a pinch-hitter for him. Cano has played in six games with the Braves since being traded to the team for cash considerations earlier this month. He's gone 4-for-18 with a double over that six-game stretch. He will continue serving as one of the team's replacements for second baseman Ozzie Albies (foot), who is expected to remain out until at least mid-August.

Sun Jul 10 202219:28Braves Acquire Robinson Cano
The Atlanta Braves have agreed to a deal to acquire second baseman Robinson Cano from the San Diego Padres for cash considerations. They will receive the 39-year-old slugger on a veteran minimum deal. The New York Mets are on the hook for $24 million after releasing Cano earlier in the season. Cano has struggled with the bat this season and isn't worth a look in fantasy leagues. He'll likely get a decent amount of playing time in Atlanta, but it's unlikely he has much to offer at this point in his career.

Thu Jun 2 202218:57Robinson Cano Optioned, Elects Free Agency
The San Diego Padres optioned infielder Robinson Cano to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday, but he has elected free agency. In a corresponding move, the team selected the contract of outfielder Nomar Mazara from the minors. After getting cut by the New York Mets earlier this year, Cano went just 3-for-33 with one RBI and 10 strikeouts in 12 games for the Friars after he hit .195/.233/.268 with a homer and three RBI in 12 games for the Mets. The 39-year-old finished his short stay in San Diego by going hitless in his final 20 at-bats. Cano has struck out 27.3% of the time this year, and it remains to be seen if he'll get another shot in the big leagues in 2022 and beyond.

Wed Jun 1 202219:22Padres Expected To Option Robinson Cano
The San Diego Padres are expected to request that second baseman Robinson Cano be optioned to the minors on Thursday, whereupon Cano would likely decline, making him a free agent again. The 39-year-old veteran was cut by the New York Mets after he hit just .195/.233/.268 with a homer and three RBI in 12 games. The Padres took a flier on him, but he's been worse in 11 games with the Friars, going 3-for-32 (.094) with no homers, one RBI, one walk and 10 strikeouts. Cano hit well this spring after missing all of the 2021 season due to a performance-enhancing drug suspension, but it looks like he's run out of gas so far in 2022.

Fri May 13 202218:37Robinson Cano Officially Joins Padres
The San Diego Padres have officially agreed to a contract with infielder Robinson Cano. The 39-year-old will get a major league contract after being released by the Mets on May 8. Cano will be a solid left-handed option off the bench and a possible option at designated hitter. This season, Cano is hitting .195/.233/.268, but everyone knows what he is capable of doing with the bat. However, his best days with the bat are behind him, so Cano is only worth a look in deep leagues.

Fri May 13 202210:03Robinson Cano To Sign With The Padres On Friday
The San Diego Padres are expected to sign veteran second baseman Robinson Cano on Friday, according to Jon Heyman. The 39-year-old will be activated prior to Friday night's game against the Atlanta Braves. Heyman notes that Cano will give the Padres a left-handed bat off the bench and that he could be utilized in the designated hitter spot as well. Of course, that all depends on Cano finding his groove at the plate. The longtime Yankee appeared in 12 games with the New York Mets this year before he was DFA'd and he slashed just .195/.233/.268 over that 12-game stint.

Thu May 12 202214:09Padres Close To Signing Robinson Cano
The San Diego Padres are close to signing free-agent second baseman Robinson Cano, according to sources. The New York Mets released Cano on Sunday after he hit only .195 with one home run, three RBI and three runs scored in his first 12 games of the season. However, the 39-year-old had an .896 OPS in 2020 before he was suspended for all of the 2021 season, and the left-handed-hitting veteran also swung a hot bat this spring training. Cano is clearly past his prime, but the Padres haven't gotten much production out of their designated hitter spot in the early going, and he could also provide depth at the keystone behind the struggling Jake Cronenworth. It's still unlikely that Cano would provide consistent fantasy stat lines in a part-time role in San Diego.

Mon May 2 202211:17Robinson Cano Designated For Assignment
The New York Mets designated second baseman Robinson Cano for assignment on Monday. The Mets still owe Cano close to $39 million. The Mets had to cut their roster down from 28 players to 26 on Monday, and the 39-year-old is the odd man out. Cano missed all of last season while being suspended for performance-enhancing drugs, and he had gone just 8-for-41 with one home run, three RBI and 11 strikeouts in 12 games for the Mets before getting cut on Monday. Cano could latch on with another organization if he's granted his outright release, but the veteran second baseman probably won't be much more than second base depth with a new team.

Wed Mar 30 202218:55Robinson Cano To Play First Base On Thursday
New York Mets infielder Robinson Cano is expected to play first base during Thursday's spring training matchup. Cano has only made 14 appearances at first base, which were all with the Seattle Mariners in 2018. Jeff McNeil should have the second base job locked up, so the Mets will look to increase Cano's versatility. The 39-year-old should see plenty of time at DH this season, but could also play some first base. Cano didn't play at all in 2021 due to a suspension. He has been a consistent hitter throughout his career, but age might finally catch up with him. It remains to be seen how much the Mets plan to use Cano for this upcoming season.

Fri Mar 11 202213:23Robinson Cano Will Be At Camp
New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano will be coming to spring training camp, but it's uncertain what his role will be in 2022. The new designated hitter spot in the National League may help Cano's chances, but Pete Alonso, Dominic Smith and J.D. Davis are also daily DH candidates for the Mets. Cano was suspended for all of the 2021 season after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. But he's expected back with the team this year and was hitting well in winter ball. The 39-year-old veteran has made eight All-Star teams in his illustrious career and did hit .316/.352/.544 with 10 home runs and 30 RBI in 49 games in the shortened 2020 season, but he may end up being just a part-time player for the Mets in 2022.

Sat Feb 5 202219:42Robinson Cano Hitting Well In Winter Ball
New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano is expected to be back with the organization for the 2022 season. He was suspended for the entire 2021 season for breaking the MLB's drug policy for the second time. Despite that, Cano remains on the Mets payroll for the 2022 and 2023 season. He is owed $24 million annually, so he's expected to play, assuming he's healthy. Through 38 games of winter ball, Cano is hitting .295/.363//.389 with 31 RBI and 16 walks. He has played both DH and second base, which is likely what he'll do in New York, assuming universal DH is introduced in 2022.

Fri Dec 4 202014:48Former Yankees affiliate shuts down, sues Major League club
NEW YORK (AP) — A minor league baseball team once affiliated with the New York Yankees has shut down and filed a lawsuit accusing the Yankees violating an agreement that it would never abandon the farm club. The owners of the Staten Island Yankees announced in a statement Thursday that with “great regret, we must cease operations.” They also said they were suing the New York Yankees and Major League Baseball “to hold those entities accountable for false promises” that they would always keep the team as a farm club. The local franchise could have tried playing in an independent league, but that “would force Staten Island to field a subpar team,” the statement said. Messages were left Friday seeking comment from the Yankees and league officials. The Yankees organization announced last month that it was dropping its single-A team on Staten Island as part of a league-wide restructuring of the minor league system. The farm club, nicknamed the “Baby Bombers,” had played in a 7,171-seat waterfront stadium with views of the lower Manhattan skyline since 2001. Borough officials are seeking ways to bring back professional baseball to the venue, which is slated to be renovated to accommodate other sports like soccer and rugby. Staten Island Yankees alumni include Justin Anderson, Robinson Cano and Brett Gardner.
Fri Sep 25 202023:45LEADING OFF: 3 NL playoff spots still open with 2 days left
A look at what's happening around the majors on Saturday: PLAYOFF CHASE After manager Don Mattingly’s Marlins clinched a most unlikely postseason spot, three NL playoff slots are still open with two days left in the regular season. St. Louis, Cincinnati and San Francisco are all at .500 or better, Philadelphia and Milwaukee are two games under. Cardinals star Adam Wainwright (5-2, 3.05) faces Milwaukee’s Brandon Woodruff (2-5, 3.43) at Busch Stadium. Wainwright has dropped lost two of his past three decisions after starting the season 4-0. His last win came against the Brewers on Sept. 16 when he went the distance in the opener of a seven-inning doubleheader. SLUGGER SITS White Sox outfielder Eloy Jiménez has a sprained right foot, likely sidelining him for this season-ending series against the crosstown Cubs. The White Sox have dropped a season-high six in a row, falling out of first place in the AL Central. They are hoping to get back on track heading into their playoff appearance since... [More]
Fri Sep 18 202000:42White Sox, Rays secure berths in the postseason
The Chicago White Sox clinched their first postseason berth since 2008, beating the Minnesota Twins 4-3 Thursday as Eloy Jimnez hit a tiebreaking double that capped a two-run, seventh-inning rally. Chicago (33-17) opened a three-game lead over the second-place Twins (31-21) in the AL Central. The White Sox assured themselves of no worse than a wild-card berth. Jos Abreu homered and drove in two runs and Edwin Encarnacin also homered for Chicago, which won three of four in the series. Chicago trailed 3-2 in the seventh when Abreu beat out an infield hit on a slow grounder that drove in Jarrod Dyson from third base. Jimnez followed with a go-ahead double. Codi Heuer (3-0) pitched a scoreless 1 2/3 innings, and Alex Colom got four outs for his 12th save in 13 chances. Tyler Clippard (1-1) gave up two runs in two-thirds of an inning. Byron Buxton homered twice, giving him seven in his last nine games and 12 this season. Josh Donaldson also went deep for Minnesota and was ejected for kicking... [More]
