The Seattle Mariners had talked about using Robinson Cano as an everyday player between first base, designated hitter and second base when he returns from his 80-game suspension for violating major league baseball’s joint drug agreement on Aug. 14.
But how about third base?
Jon Heyman of Fancred Sports reported Cano was working out at third at his complex in the Dominican Republic. Mariners manager Scott Servais confirmed that on Thursday.
Keep in mind, in Cano’s 14-year major-league career he’s played 1,995 games at second base, 48 at designated hitter and one at shortstop (in 2013).
