The buzz on Thursday had trade talks between the Seattle Mariners and New York Mets involving Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz heating up hotter than a thousand suns, with reports Thursday night that the sides are closing in on a deal. Names proffered about from the Mets' side include recent No. 1 picks Jarred Kelenic, David Peterson and Justin Dunn, second baseman Jeff McNeil, outfielder Jay Bruce and the Wilpons' next grandkid.
We'll refrain from analyzing any deal unless something actually happens, but the rumors do lead to another question: What does Cano have left?
