Robinson Cano hiring Jay-Z in perfect. When Cano’s desire is questioned at contract time, Jay-Z will make sure they Can’t Knock The Hustle.

….good thing, because Robinson Cano got more at stake than Philly
#9
Despite taking on Robinson Cano as a client, Jay-Z will still only have 99 problems. He’s traded for Cano for a problem to be named later.

….clearly Beyonce won’t be involved in this trade

Jay-Z is going to push hard at contract time to get Cano a ton of $. To counter, Yankees will bring in the 1 thing that can stop him; Ether.

….if Nas shows up to contract negotiations, run
#7
Robinson Cano was most impressed with Jay-Z’s fiscal responsibility. After all, Hova is still spending money from ’88.

….Antoine Walker could have used a guy like this
#6
Robinson Cano has hired Jay-Z to represent him. In reality, by making this move, Cano has chosen Dead Presidents to represent him.

….Cano doesn’t just want to shine, he wants to illuminate the whole show
#5
Good news: By signing with Jay-Z, Robinson Cano gets a luxury box for Brooklyn Nets games. Bad news: He has to join Kris Humphries entourage

….oh, the humanity

Robinson Cano has fired Scott Boras and hired Jay-Z as his new agent, causing out of touch, aging sports writers to ask Jigga who?

….I wonder if Hova offered Cano a condo with nothing but condoms in it
#3
By hiring Jay-Z as his agent, we now all know what Robinson Cano is looking to receive when he signs a new contract; Money, Cash, Hoes.

….let’s just hope that Cano doesn’t consult with DMX for any financial advice
#2
Contract talks with the Yankees might get awkward after a while when Jay-Z opens up every meeting with “allow me to reintroduce myself…”.
— Not Bill Walton (@NotBillWalton) April 2, 2013
….even more awkward if Jay ends every meeting with “thank you, thank you, thank you, you’re far too kind”
#1
The choice was simple for Robinson Cano to change agents. Scott Boras is a businessman. Jay-Z is a business, man.

….let him handle his business, damn
And for good measure, possibly the text message that started it all….
