Is it time for Robinson Cano to move to first base? A second baseman might be easier to find and less expensive.
-- Clyde C., Sagle, Idaho

There will be a time when it makes sense for Cano to shift over to first, but I don't believe the Mariners feel that time is here yet, and I would think it's easier to find a quality first baseman at this point, given the relatively deep free-agent market at that position.

Cano turned 35 on Sunday and has six years remaining on his contract, so it is likely he'll eventually move to a less-demanding position.
