Yankees exercised 2B Robinson Cano’s $14 million option for 2012.
A no-brainer move. Cano, 29, batted .302/.349/.533 with 28 home runs and 118 RBI in 681 plate appearances this season before raking in the ALDS against the Tigers. He’s a bargain at $14 million and will be a bargain at $15 million in 2013. The Yankees also exercised Nick Swisher’s club option for 2012, worth $10.25 million.
