M’s Sign Cano For $240M, 10 Years

There is news breaking from national baseball writers starting with Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes that the free agent second baseman Robinson Cano, pictured, and the Mariners have agreed to a 10-year, $240 million contract.  CBS Sports Jon Heyman also confirmed the deal. There has been no confirmation from the Mariners. Earlier this morning reports out of New York came out that the talks had broken down and Howard Lincoln stormed out of the negotiations. But a source with direct knowledge of the negotiations said that “anything that’s been written that talks been broken off or that Jay-Z overplayed his hand is false. And that the past 48 hours of discussions with all teams involved were very productive.” They seem to be very productive/ Ryan Divish , Mariners Blog. More here. (AP file photo)

Question: Did Mariners overplay for a good player?
