Jeff Kent 351
Supposedly Cano wants to pass Kent for the all time record. He needs 56, so at least two seasons. His former agent and current Met general Met general manager must know this. The New York Mets may acquire Cano in a trade with the Seattle Mariners this weekend.
I recently ran numbers for all fielding positions. Here is the link for second Base:
2B games >= 75%, OPS+ >= 120, PA >= 5000, 1903 to 2018. Monday, November 26, 2018
Cano is an all time great and the all time New York Yankee second baseman. But he dogged it the most in his walk year and Seattle saved the Yankees by offering the same annual pay but for ten years, not seven.

It's sad that Cano was not mature enough to stay with the Yankees.
Robinson Cano, where can you go? Thursday, November 14, 2013
... Cano ... was paid $15 million in 2013, probably more than any second baseman in baseball history...
There have been wild reports for months that Cano is seeking $300 million for ten years and that there is tremendous pressure on the Yankees to pay him...
Thursday, July 11, 2013 Cano isn't worth a huge contract.
Robinson Cano may be the all time Yankee second baseman but the Yankees should not break the bank to sign him when he becomes a free agent after the season...
Cano was born October 22, 1982, which means that when the 2014 season starts he will be 31. The Yanks should make him a nice offer for four years at which time he will be 34 in the final year of that contract. Cano would be 37 in the final year of a seven year contract Older than that and the Yanks are right back where they are now with Derek Jeter 39 and Alex Rodriguez almost 38 struggling to get out of the minors and join the Yankees after major injuries.
The Yankees are correct in trying to get their total payroll under $189,000,000 for next season. Then they will avoid the luxury tax and be able to sign young free agents like Giancarlo Stanton or Mike Trout or Bryce Harper in the next few years...
But some people state that the Yankees should pay Cano $25 to $30 million dollars per season for at least seven years. That's nuts, especially for a guy who's good, but not that good.

Monday, August 12, 2013 Yankee captain Robinson Cano: I don't think so.
He blew it. Robinson Cano had the leadership of the New York Yankees sitting there for the taking and Cano was not up to the task. Cano blew it on two fundamental levels.
1. Cano didn't play well enough when the team needed him most.
2. Cano didn't hustle all the time...
_______________________________
It's best for Cano to make a deal with the Yankees and become their all time second baseman...
But if Cano's ego forces a change, where can he go, especially for substantially more than he could get from the Yankees? ...
The Mets could move Daniel Murphy from second to first if they sign Cano and have the added bonus of sticking it to the Yankees. But do the Mets have the money and the nerve? ...
Washington, Seattle, Miami?
Who is willing to pay Cano a lot more money than what the Yankees will be willing to pay?
Robinson Cano should just tell his agent to make a deal with the Yankees. Whatever he gets, Cano will be rich beyond his wildest dreams. And he would remain a Yankee, probably for his entire career. How much is that worth?
