Ever since word surfaced the Mets could be acquiring Robinson Cano, I have heard and seen the outrage and even did unscientific polling by asking Mets fans to list their problems with obtaining the second baseman.
Lots pointed to the fact he is 36 and signed through his age-40 season. There was outrage over taking on a significant portion of the five years at $120 million left on his contract. Many were concerned about the quality of prospects going to the Mariners. There was fretting about blocking Jeff McNeil at second base and even worries expressed about the lack of a DH in the NL for Cano to fall into should he become a fielding detriment.
