Simply; Ellsbury will be making top 10 talent money when he's not even a top 25 talent. When Beltran signed with the Mets he was a top 10 talent in the game and got accordingly. Ellsbury is basically Michael Bourn and Michael Bourn got a 4 yr $48m last season. This is one of the worst MLB contracts ever; if this doesn't get Cash fired nothing will.

Cano is a top 10 talent, Ellsbury isn't even a top 25 talent.

JBJ will be a 15-20 hr, 20+ sb, .280 avg, .370 obp guy. He will also play a better CF than Ellsbury.

I agree.

I'd rather give Cano $200+m for 10 yrs than give Ells $169m for 8. This imo is worst than the Crawford deal.

Remember when Yankee fans used to compare Ellsbury to Gardner? Tell me Yankee fans, is Brett Gardner with a little more pop worth $169m?

Jay-Z(the Rapper) is his agent. I say 8yrs, $210m
