Robinson Cano Tests Positive for Performance Enhancing Drugs

Going into the 2021 season, Robinson Cano’s role is pretty secure as the Mets don’t have another reliable second baseman. Hopefully, Cano can stay healthy enough to continue to contribute offensively, while relying on his defense.

It’s expected that Cano will continue to be a mentor and leader to the younger Mets core in the 2021 season, as Pete Alonso has explained the knowledge and guidance that the MLB veteran has gifted him since being on the Mets.

cano will be 39 when suspension ends. so his career is now very likely done–and that may be part of reason he was willing to risk his second suspension.

Mets might have dodged a bullet. Father time owns Cano.
