Did I say Felix would be? No. After what Greinke just got, you really think Verlander will sign an extention? Sure if Detroit pays him 25m a year. Not happening. Verlander will test free agency.

I'm talking about the trade deadline. The Dodgers have been making moves since then.
They can require a window to sign an extension but why would Boras and Cano sign it when they are that close to free agency. The Dodgers are not trading Kemp. It's not going to happen.
The Yankees aren't trading Cano.
Cano for the marlins franchise.
With Scott Boras as the agent, the other teams already should know not to bother. The only way you get him to sign an extention prior to his guys hitting UFA is if you offer a premium... (I.E. I seem to remember A-Rod opting out of the richest contract in baseball because SB THOUGHT he could do better...)
Kemp also has a NO-Trade if I am correct. This will not, and won't happen... You have a better chance of seeing Babe Ruth playing in RF next year than seeing Kemp in a Yankee uniform next year.
The Marlins would be crazy to do that deal unless they were picking up Cano just to move him. Stanton is just starting his career. cano is in the middle of his prime. It will be years before the Marlins compete if they ever do. cano is no help the them.
And I repeat my statement. No matter what you meant by it. Trust me. I love Cano . But on the Yankees or another team that will contend. Not on a rebuilding team.
How about Cano and Granderson for Kinsler and some young pitching then we can sign Hamilton
