Cano, Diaz will have immediate upside for Mets

The Mets don’t have the luxury of playing it safe right now. There is no future for them without a relevant present, and you better believe that means the 2019 season. It’s why I believe Van Wagenen is doing the right thing here. Now everybody on both sides of the debate about this deal — most of it about Cano — can sit back and see how it works out for New York. Or doesn’t.
