Cano and the Yankees reportedly are closing in on a four-year, $30 million contract that also would include two option years for the second baseman, the Associated Press reported on Thursday.

Robinson Cano is 25 years old, and is a career .314 hitter in 414 big league games. He has spoken optimistically about hoping to remain with the Yankees on a more permanent basis.
“I would like to go long-term, but they haven’t said anything yet,” Cano said earlier this month at a school appearance in New Jersey. “I hope it happens. If not, I’ll just keep playing.”

This is a must move for the Yankees, as Robinson Cano has been an impressive player. It’s always nice to see a young player, which came up in the organization, make strides and become a permanent fixture in the lineup.

After the Cano deal is finalized, I would say Chien-Ming Wang is next up on the “to-do” list.
