A couple of Robinson Cano tidbits from Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News:
Source: Yankees and Cano’s camp spoke but did not meet again Wednesday. Will pick up talks again after the holiday weekend.

According to source, the $310M demand from Cano’s side remained until Tuesday, though it was lowered “very slightly.” Sides still far apart.

That part about the $310 million is interesting, because Cano’s people were trying to spin that as what Cano wanted way back during the season to forego free agency altogether, not something they wanted now. Guess not. As for the “very slightly?” I’d read that as the characterization from a team source who is not impressed with where Cano is right now.
How Cano gets out of $300 million land and down into a territory where teams start fighting over him is an interesting question. Because right now he’s not giving anyone an incentive to do anything other than wait him out.
