Hey, Cano is clearly an elite hitter. He'll remain so for at least a couple of years, then be good for a couple more. After that, you rolls the dice. If we're just doing Cano + one more (Morales/Butler) then we'll have to dance with the OF's we've got. We would be tough at 3-4-5, however.
If signing Beltran/Granderson or trading for Kemp (subsidized) allows us to add Morales/Butler + one other......then I think I like that move more. As is, Kemp at 6x$21.5M isn't much of a bargain over Cano (8x$25M), for six years anyway. Get $6M from the Dodgers and now you have $10M to spend somewhere else. Is a generally healthy Kemp+ better than Cano solo?
Depending on who the + is, yes, I think.
