Jay Z Squeezed $240M Out Of Seattle Mariners For Robinson Cano
Even as a newly licensed sports agent, Jay Z is out for big presidents to represent him and his client, Robinson Cano.
They settled at $240M and a ten year deal.
Reports Fox Sports:
The All-Star second baseman agreed to a 10-year deal worth $240 million on Friday, FOX Sports MLB Insider Jon Paul Morosi confirms.
The Mariners thought they were set when they offered a nine-year deal worth $225 million for the Cano, who batted .314 with 27 homers and 107 RBI last season. Jay-Z then upped the ante, requesting a 10-year deal, which upset Mariners brass.
The Roc boys have a new home in Seattle now.
