MCCANN'S IN. ARE KURODA AND CANO NEXT?

Just a quick note because I don't want to rain on the Brian McCann parade, but anyone who read Joel Sherman of the New York Post today probably glossed over this nugget because we're rejoicing the McCann signing, but I'll bring it to your attention. The Yankees are hopeful Hiroki Kuroda will come back.

Sherman writes casually, "The Yankees also have moved from gloomy early in the offseason to more upbeat that Hiroki Kuroda will return for another year."

What does it mean? Exactly what it says.  Not to mention that Sherman goes further on other names and other nuggets.

"They have their eyes on others such as Masahiro Tanaka, Stephen Drew and — if Beltran does not come through — Shin-Soo Choo."

But wait... there's more.  This one about Robinson Cano:

"They want to move a lot quicker than that timetable with Cano and hope to meet with his representatives this week. They plan to re-confirm — in person — they badly want to retain the second baseman... If Cano really wants to stay, he should take the offer before the money begins to disappear."

He's right. Bottom line with Cano... the Yankees are willing to move on... no big deal. Cano better wake up, huh?
