As the night dragged on, the anticipation grew. I remember staying up until 3 A.M. just in case I could catch some late night breaking news. I woke up the next morning to news that Cano would be flying out of Seattle without a deal. While I was disappointed, I wasn’t necessarily surprised. The M’s have always had trouble enticing big name Free Agents to play here.
I was in my first period Culinary Arts class when news broke that the previous reports were false. “Mariners Sign Robinson Cano” is what I read on a notification from MLBTradeRumors.
