If the Yankees wish to keep soon-to-be-free-agent second baseman Robinson Cano in pinstripes, it looks like it wont come cheap. Darqueze Dennard Jersey . Multiple reports – including one from ESPNs Buster Olney – have Canos salary demands at a 10-year deal worth a staggering $305 million. The numbers may seem staggering, but, according to ESPN.com the figures are not unprecedented in Major League Baseball nor even for the Yankees. The $305 million total is exactly the amount Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez would earn over the duration of his current deal, were he to hit all his built-in incentives. Cano has 27 home runs and 106 runs batted-in for the Yankees in 2013. The 30-year-old has racked up 204 home runs and 821 RBI with a .309 career batting average in 1,371 career games with the Yankees. He has been selected to five All-Star Games over his nine seasons in The Bronx, winning two Gold Glove Awards, four Silver Sluggers. He has helped the Yankees qualify for the playoffs in every season hes played save two (2008 and 2013), winning a 2009 World Series ring. Cano has already become one of just 14 second basemen in Major League history to surpass the 200-home run plateau. He was originally signed by the Yankees as an amateur free agent out of the Dominican Republic as an 18-year-old in 2001. He is currently in the final year of a six-year deal he signed with the Yankees worth a total of $57 million. Cano switched representation earlier this season, signing on with Roc Nation Sports – backed by hip hop artist Jay-Z. Prior to signing on with Roc Nation, Cano was represented by Scott Boras, the agent responsible for negotiating Rodriguezs record-breaking deal with the Yankees in late 2007. Kevin Huber Jersey .

Attempting a re-launch of his NHL career this fall, Petri Kontiola, the former Blackhawks draft pick, was plainly dejected after his second exhibition game with the Leafs on Wednesday night. Kontiola, a 29-year-old who spent the past five seasons in the KHL, knew that what hed offered so far probably wasnt good enough. “Im not doing that well right now and I know it,” he said gloomily. “Thats about it.” Kontiolas biggest challenge in making the leap back to the NHL, as per Leafs head coach Randy Carlyle, was his ability to keep up with the pace of the game. And thats been precisely the struggle for the Finnish forward. His long, choppy stride appears just a step too slow for the high speeds of the NHL game, evident even at this early stage of the exhibition season. He teamed uncomfortably with Phil Kessel and James van Riemsdyk on a de facto top line against Ottawa, finishing without a shot on goal in about 13 minutes. “We try to use these games as assessment periods and sometimes people play themselves into situations and play them out of situations,” Carlyle said, not mentioning Kontiola specifically. “We tried to put people in situations where they can have the best possible chance for success and then thats when the evaluation process starts.” The evident fact of Kontiolas struggle, early as it may be in training camp, has made Torontos once uncertain centre dynamic become pretty clear pretty quick. With Kontiola seemingly out of the mix – hes not getting faster overnight – the final two centre spots would appear safely in the hands of Peter Holland and Mike Santorelli, an unproven duo in different regards. Given Carlyles stated intention of three “scoring” lines, Holland would seem the probable choice for third line centre duties beyond Tyler Bozak and Nazem Kadri. Just 23, the former first round pick has offered hints of promise in 68 NHL games – albeit inconsistently – including five goals and 10 points in 39 games with the Leafs last season. Making clear that he was just a rung above the American League in the spring, he went on to thrive with the Marlies iin the playoffs, boasting 15 points in 11 games. Tyler Boyd Jersey. But can he fulfill his potential with the increased NHL opportunity likely to come his way? That will indeed be the question. Santorelli could certainly push him for some of those offensive minutes, but appears better suited (of the two) to absorb the difficult minutes left by Jay McClement, a Carlyle favourite whom the organization let walk in the offseason. Under the direction of since-deposed Vancouver head coach John Tortorella, Santorelli was utilized in challenging defensive situations, also killing penalties along the way. And he fared okay, posting positive Corsi numbers at even-strength. If Carlyle can find in him a player to handle those difficult assignments in the coming year he could alleviate some of the burden carried by Bozak and the teams top trio, which was often overloaded against top lines a year ago. “Hes going to get opportunities,” Carlyle said of Santorelli. “We brought the player in feeling that he could make a contribution.” Unlike McClement, who scored just four goals in 81 games, Santorelli also offers some offensive potential. Averaging nearly 19 minutes, he scored 10 times in 49 games with his hometown Canucks, adding a 20-goal campaign to the resume in Florida a few years earlier. “I think as a player you want to come in and help with the team any way you can and thats all Im looking to do here,” said Santorelli, who also won 51 per cent of his faceoffs. As for Kontiola, his fight to remain in the race for a job with the Leafs hangs by an apparent thread. Though the transition to North American-sized rinks would seem a challenge, even for a player who spent two seasons over here, he refused to touch it after Wednesdays game, brushing it off as an excuse. “No, a good player can play wherever,” he said. The team wasnt quite as dismissive. “Were watching him very closely,” Peter Horachek, the Leafs assistant coach, said before the game, “as we are with a couple of the other centremen and seeing where they stand because theres some questions to be answered for our team coming through training camp.” One at least appears increasingly closer to a solution.
