Robinson Cano signs with Mariners; '99 Problems' jokes unleashed
The Mariners signed former Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano to a $240 million contract on Friday.
Earlier reports said that negotiations hit a snag because Cano's agent, Jay Z, was getting a little too greedy and asked for 10 years. The rap mogul got his way, though, and Cano will be in Seattle for the next decade.
I got 99 problems and Jay-Z, you're one of them. #HaveFunInSeattle #RobinsonCano

"99 problems" with that Jay-Z Cano Seattle contract. Glad Yankees passed. Thanks for the memories #RobinsonCano You'll always be a Yankee

"If you having negotiating problems I feel bad for u, son. I got 99 problems, but $240 mill ain't one.." - Jay Z #Cano

Shocked but thrilled by #Cano leaving NY. A little confused by the move though #Mariners, you got 99 problems and 2B is only one...
