Robinson Cano said he’s “100 percent happy” with the Seattle Mariners, despite rumblings to the contrary.
Cano has been dogged by rumors that he’s unhappy in Seattle and regretted leaving New York, but Cano told Christian Red of the New York Daily News that this was not the case.
“I don’t want to comment on that because I don’t want to make a big deal about it. Whoever says that, I don’t know why they say that,” Cano said Saturday night, adding that he “can’t wait” for 2016.
Cano was hampered by injuries during 2015, including a stomach parasite, which may have had something to do with his decreased production. He said he’s doing better now, but not completely.
“My stomach is a little better. Not 100%, but I’m better,” said Cano.
Even if Cano wanted out, the remaining eight years and $192 million on his contract would make a trade difficult, particularly after a down year at the age of 33. That said, it remains an open question as to how Cano is perceived in Seattle, given that one of his former coaches absolutely ripped him last month.
