Rays claim Chase Whitley off waivers
The last time I wrote something about Cano, it caused a bit of a stir. That blog was based on speculation that Cano disliked Seattle. This one is based on statements from ex-Mariners coach Andy Van Slyke that he dislikes Cano, and there is a possible disconnect between Cano, the coaching staff, and ownership. You can read the full story here, but I’ve pulled out some of the highlights:
“Robinson Cano cost the GM his job, the hitting coach got fired because of Cano and then the manager and coaches got fired because of Cano, because that’s how much impact he has on the organization,” Van Slyke said during the interview. “He was the worst player and it cost people their jobs in the process.”
