I think they should try to trade Cano.
The big reason they are where they are is because of bad contracts. They'll get some relief after this season when guys like Rivera, Granderson, Pettitte, Youkilis, Kuroda, et al likely depart, but handing a big-time contract to a 31-year-old second baseman seems like rinsing and repeating to me.
It's tough to buy that Cano + whatever's left of this current roster after retirements/departures (including a presumably healthy 38-year-old Jeter) + whatever's added through a weak free agency class is going to be enough to compete, so why pay Cano a superstar's ransom to wallow on a struggling team? They've had him through his prime, so ship him off for some prospects and let someone else foot the bill.
