His value isn't going to get any higher unless he hits 350, hits 45 bombs, drives in 140 runs... the market is already grossly inflated. So the "testing the waters" argument is null. The only way testing the waters would ever, ever - play into it is if he hits the market and it becomes a bidding war between LA, Texas and NY. LA to be any sorts of players in the deal would have to move significant salary, which they are capable of doing. But it would have to be done first, before they can even jump in. Thus that leaves the highly unlikely possibility of the Nats and then the Yankees and Rangers where the Yankees, will outbid the Rangers for Cano if push comes to shove. But of late, all indications show that Hal would much rather go a cheaper way.
So that being said, Cano agrees to extension upon trade. Make your offer... players like Granderson, Hughes and Nova are also available and open to discussion as per media reports. So, a possible package with Cano can happen.
What are you going to give me? Profar HAS to be included for a deal to take place, non negotiable.
