Mets Should Cut Bait With Canó and Sign Bryant

What's Canó Going to Bring to the table Without PEDs?

As a twice-suspended, two-time PED loser, Robinson Canó shouldn't even be on the Mets roster. The minute his suspension ended they should've bought him out or released him and been done with it. Addition by subtraction and all that. That said, when it comes to Canó making "too much money" to be cut outright or be a bench player, some people still don't realize that this is no longer the Wilpons' Mets. Steve Cohen can afford this luxury and that's great for the team and Mets fans who've waited seemingly an eternity for a new owner who's not looking to pinch pennies. He's sparing no expense to put the best team he can on the field and if that means Cano is an overpaid role player than so be it.

Besides, who's to say he won't cheat again? Never trust a repeat offender. At age 39, not having played in a year and proving over the last 4 seasons he played that he's virtually nothing without PEDs, can anybody realistically expect anything substantial from Canó at this point? (Only if he cheats, yeah, I know.)

If they must keep him (and even if they don't) it would be worth it if the Mets sign Kris Bryant to take Michael Conforto's place in RF. It's the best move they can make because it allows free agent signee Eduardo Escobar to play full-time at 3rd while Jeff McNeil does the same at his natural position at 2nd with Canó at DH and bench depth. Sometimes if you make one move, everything else falls into place. This is one of those times and it's screaming, Do it!!"
