With Mets run over, Padres hope veteran can offer pinch hitting and leadership
of aging legend and multi-time PED sinner Robinson Cano seems like fertile ground for some old-fashioned righteous indignation.
What it does say loudly, though, is that the team’s roster inexplicably remains a winning one in spite of being a fragile one. Maybe not “Jake Arrieta’s 10.95 ERA in 12 1/3 innings in 2021 fragile,” but a rock-turning treasure hunt at every turn.Advertisement “I know that I only took at-bats. I’ve got a lot left in the tank and I know I still can play this game.”
“The things he did in New York and having one of the best left-handed swings of all time, I think it’s great,” said Luke Voit, another former Yankee. “It kind of balances our lineup, having another lefty bat. We kind of get righty heavy at the bottom of our order, so I think that’s going to be huge. Incrementally, the Padres are giving themselves options until the offense awakens or a deal for a bopper materializes. There’s almost no risk with Cano, beyond some early eye rolling.
