Robinson Cano is an 8-time all-star, a 5-time silver slugger, a 2-time Gold Glove winner, and a top 10 MVP finisher 6 different times. Despite going into his age 36 season, the New York Mets thought they would be able to get part of the Cano that won all these rewards.
Cano got off to a dreadful start to the year this season. From the start of the season up to the All-Star Break, Cano hit .240, had a .287 OBP, slugged a dreadful .360, hit 4 home runs, and only drove in 18 runs in 65 games.
