Robinson Cano Took A Subtle Shot At The Yankees With His First Mariners Publicity Photo
Seattle Mariners
Robinson Cano was officially introduced as a member of the Mariners today and his first picture in a Seattle uniform appears to include a subtle jab at the New York Yankees.In the picture, seen at right, Cano shows off his new no. 22 uniform and a well-groomed beard without a mustache. It is well known that the Yankees do not allow their players to have beards, while mustaches are permitted.
So Cano's beard immediately raised some eyebrows.
Cano surprised many when turned down a chance to re-sign with the New York Yankees and accepted a $240 million contract offer from the Seattle Mariners. Cano reportedly wanted the Yankees to up their offer, but the team never offered more than $160.
