By acquiring Robinson Cano, the New York Mets did a lot more than add a veteran bat to the lineup. They also managed to place a guy with extensive postseason experience on the roster.
Cano’s years with the New York Yankees helped him amass a total of 51 playoff games. Although the Yankees didn’t experience much success other than their 2009 championship, it was an opportunity for Cano to add to his resume.
Unfortunately, Cano didn’t have the hitter’s version of what Madison Bumgarner has done in October baseball. In fact, Cano has been pretty unimportant in playoff baseball.
