UN BE LIVABLE

Robinson Cano signed 10 years with the Seattle Mariners. As a Yankees fan I was hoping that Cano would return but was ok with him leaving. But NO ONE expected to see Cano in the Northwest. This is officially the craziest offseason in MLB history

Seattle signs 2B Robinson Cano to 10 Year Deal

Well today December 6th 2013 will be one of the most memorable days of this Offseason. Cano just signed the 3rd biggest contract a Baseball Player has ever received. Cano signed a 10 year 240 million dollar deal. This signing will surely make Seattle a contending team in 2014.

Mets sign Granderson

Curtis Granderson recently signed a 4 year deal with the New York Meta for $60 Million.
This is huge for the Mets, a team that is looking for left handed pop.

Robinson Cano in serious talks with M's

The Seattle Mariners are in "heavy" negotiations with Robinson Cano regarding a 9 Year Deal. 
If this goes through it would be shocking. No one expected the M's to jump into the Cano pool. More news tomorrow on Pepper:MLB

Masahiro Tanaka gaining interest

Well it's almost time for the posting situation to start. He is gaining interest from both LA Clubs and Chciago(NL). Tanaka went 21-0 and led his team to a championship.

Merry Christmas From Pepper

Who is the Best Player on the Market?

If you ask me, it's a no brainer! Robinson Cano will be the highlight of the offseason, can the Yankees get Cano? I asked my sources, and they said "Maybe". Not a convincing answer ... Hopefully we get some good deals next week with the Winter Meetings coming to Orlando,FL.

The Storm before the Calm?

Unlike the usual slow start to the offseason this season has started big with signings and trades galore, All of this before the Winter Meetings!

Yankees sign Jacoby Ellsbury for 7 years, 150 Million

Making their second big free-agent signing this offseason, the Yankees signed former nemesis Jacoby Ellsbury to a 7 year, 150 million contract. With the Yankees still having major weaknesses, especially in their starting rotation, and trying to get under the 189 million dollar tax threshold, this raises doubts whether Robinson Cano will stay with the team. Cano recently lowered his asking price to 9 years and 260 million, which is still far from what the Yankees will be willing to do. But assuming that the Yankees re-sign Cano, and that Alex Rodriguez will be suspending for at least the whole 2014 season, this is my predicted Opening Day lineup for the Yankees next April:

CF- Jacoby Ellsbury
SS- Derek Jeter
2B- Robinson Cano
C- Brian McCann
1B- Mark Teixeira
DH- Alfonso Soriano
LF- Brett Gardner
RF- Ichiro Suzuki
3B- Eduardo Nunez
