PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — This wasn’t the same Robinson Cano that Mets fans were greeted by just over three years ago.
In February 2019, Cano strolled into an introductory press conference smiling ear to ear, eager to begin a new season with his third team. On Wednesday at Clover Park, Cano walked in quietly, with no fanfare, a solemn face and a serious attitude.
“I’m here to apologize, first of all, to the Mets organization, to my teammates, the fans, and [the media],” Cano said. “There’s no excuses for how or why. All I know is that I prepared myself the past season to help this team compete for a championship.”
