Frankly, Cano has earned the number, and I wouldn't have him change it for anyone, let alone Clemens, who will ride in on his horse and pitch for all of 4 months. The report I heard today seemed to say that the Yankees management implied that it "would be nice" if Cano would accept a number change, which leads me to think the Clemens deal, being negotiated in smoky back rooms, is nearly done (unofficially).
