Description: New York second baseman Robinson Cano canned agent Scott Boras in favor of rapper Jay-Z and his new entertainment company, Roc Nation. SOURCE: Mark Feinsand, New York Daily News | Insight: That's good news for Yankees fans. Boras is famous for advising his clients to wait for free agency before signing a new deal, which is something Brian Cashman and the Yankees' front office would love to avoid if at all possible. Jay-Z is based out of New York, so it's unlikely that Cano would play anywhere else. We're guessing Cano inks an extension with the Bombers before teams have a chance to bid on him in free agency. | | |
