Mets Introduce Cano, Diaz; Van Wagenen Hints At More Moves

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — It’s official. Robinson Cano is back playing baseball again in the Big Apple.

The former star for the Yankees was introduced Tuesday at Citi Field as the new second baseman of the Mets, CBS2’s Jenna DeAngelis reported.

The seven-player trade with the Seattle Mariners that brought over Cano and star closer Edwin Diaz was the first deal by agent-turned-general manager Brodie Van Wagenen, who was hired by New York not long after the season ended.

“As I stood in front of you a few weeks ago, I stated that this organization intended to be relentless and fearless in our pursuit of greatness,” Van Wagenen said.
