Yankees Considering "Significant" Long-Term Contract for Cano

The New York Yankees are dealing with injuries to their stars and allegations of steroid use for the second time by their highest-paid player Alex Rodriguez this offseason, but their biggest headache could hover over the team all summer long-the impending free agency of second baseman Robinson Cano. Cano, the consensus top second baseman in all of baseball is represented by the notoriously difficult Scott Boras, who is seeking a long-term deal in the Joey Votto and Albert Pujols neighborhood. Votto received a 10-year, $225 million commitment from the Cincinnati Reds while Pujols, who is 33 years old, also got 10 years and $240 million.
