For this two-borough baseball issue, let’s start with the easy one:
The Mets would be out of their minds to invest in Robinson Cano.
A left-handed bat for a roster that already leans more to the left than Shepard Smith? A 36-year-old with five years left on his contract for a team that doesn’t use the designated hitter? A guy who never really wanted to leave the Yankees for the other side of the RFK Bridge?
That’s a hard no, even if young All-Star closer Edwin Diaz accompanies Cano from Seattle.
The Yankees, on the other hand, should bring Cano back home under the right parameters.
