The Mariners are only expected to chip in something in the mid-$20MM range to cover Cano’s salary, per Passan (via Twitter). Seattle will still be absorbing the two significant contracts, of course, but it seems the New York org will be paying for about half of Cano’s contract (while also presumptively paying Diaz in arbitration).
Meanwhile, there’s still work to be done on the deal, which Joel Sherman of the New York Post tweets will not be concluded this evening.

AA is a smart GM, no reason to drop either one at this point.
But why keeping Sam Freeman?
They still might cut one of Viz, Freeman or Duvall depending on what they settle for and how ST works out. Viz is most unlikely unless his shoulder issues come back, then he might become likely fast. But hopefully he can stay healthy.
I was told Freeman would be dumped. Weird.
I'd trade our 2 catchers for their 2
I actually like Duvall and think he has value. He had a bad streak in Atlanta but has been fairly decent and an excellent defender.
