Robinson Cano: Headed to Mexico
Cano signed a contract with the Diablos Rojos del Mexico of the Mexican Baseball League on Friday.
Cano is now 41 but isn't ready to retire just yet. The 17-year major-league veteran last saw action in the big leagues in 2022, when he played in 33 games for three different teams.

Robinson Cano: Playing for D.R. in WBC
Cano is on the roster for Team Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic.
Cano might not see much action for the stacked D.R. squad, but he could potentially do some late-game pinch hitting against righties. The 40-year-old played in 33 games for three different teams in 2022, managing just a .373 OPS. Cano is a free agent but hasn't given any indication that he's ready for retirement.

Robinson Cano: Officially hits free agency
Cano elected free agency after being outrighted by Atlanta on Thursday.
The 39-year-old was designated for assignment earlier this week, and it's hardly a surprise he'll be returning to the open market. Cano appeared in only nine games during his brief stint in Atlanta and went 4-for-26 with a double, a walk and a run. The veteran has a .373 OPS across 33 games in his three big-league stops this year, so he seems unlikely to receive a look from another team.

Braves' Robinson Cano: Time over in Atlanta
Atlanta designated Cano for assignment Monday.
Cano recently lost hold of his role as Atlanta's primary second baseman, and his status as a left-handed hitter with limited defensive utility made him an ill fit in a bench role. As a result, Atlanta opted to replace him with Ehire Adrianza, who was acquired from the Nationals on Monday and is a more traditional fit for a utility role. Given that he's now been let go by three teams this season after slashing a collective .150/.183/.190 with a career-worst 24 percent strikeout rate over 104 plate appearances in the majors, the 39-year-old Cano's prolific run in the big leagues could be over.

Braves' Robinson Cano: Remains on bench
Cano is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
The 39-year-old has started only three of eight games coming out of the All-Star break, and he's on the bench again Sunday despite Arizona sending out righty Merrill Kelly. Cano has a .154/.185/.192 slash line through nine games for Atlanta. Orlando Arcia will receive another start at the keystone and appears to be the favorite for starts going forward.

Cano is on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Mets.
Lefty David Peterson starts for the Mets, so Cano is out of the lineup. The veteran Cano will likely get plenty of at-bats with his new team as long as he's performing, but he could often find himself on the bench against southpaw starters. Orlando Arcia gets the start at second base.

Braves' Robinson Cano: Two hits in team debut
Cano went 2-for-3 with a pair of base hits Monday in Atlanta's 4-1 loss to the Mets.
After Atlanta acquired him from San Diego on Sunday, Cano quickly joined the big club and entered the starting lineup for the series opener against one of his former teams. Cano got the job done while batting out of the ninth spot and should settle in as Atlanta's primary second baseman while Ozzie Albies (foot) remains on the 60-day injured list. The righty-hitting Orlando Arcia could spell the lefty-hitting Cano at the keystone when Atlanta opposes left-handed pitchers.

After being acquired via trade from the Padres on Sunday, Cano will make his debut with Atlanta on Monday against the Mets. The 39-year-old will look to continue the success he had in Triple-A before being dealt, slashing .333/.375/.479 with three long balls over 21 games with El Paso. Cano is expected to be the primary option for Atlanta at second base moving forward.
