Robinson Cano and the New York Mets are parting ways, but he may yet get to write a final chapter to his MLB career with another team.
The 39-year-old began the 2022 season as their starting second baseman but hit just .195 through 12 games. This was on the heels of a season-long suspension because of a second violation for performance-enhancing drugs and in the face of rosters being cut down from 28 to 26 men, so it was no surprise when the Mets designated him for assignment on Monday.
If this is the end for Cano's major league career, it's an oddly appropriate bummer.
