1. Is Seattle serious, or are they just trying to get the Yankees to overspend and to break their word on how high they'd go?
Why would the Mariners care how much the Yankees spend?
2. Is Jay-Z serious about possibly having his client sign with far-off, uncool Seattle, or is he just trying to replenish his badly played hand with the Yankees?
How has Jay-Z played a bad hand here? Cano is going to sign the richest contract of the off-season and be set up for life.
3. Is Cano seriously considering this, or is he just going through the motions, possibly to save face for his agent?
See answer above.
4. Would the increased pay from the Mariners make up for losing the endorsement deals he'd supposedly get if he stayed in NY?
He's had two endorsement deals in his entire Yankee career, one of which came earlier this year.
5. Is this a Hail Mary desperation play by Jack Z, trying to save his job?
Probably.
