that's not nothing. the deal came just hours after talks between cano and his agent jay-z and the mariners had broken down. cnn's rachel nichols is with me. nice to see you, my friend, by the way. jay-z, with his sports agent hat, if reports are true, this contract is huge. >> yeah, it's nice to see something finally going well for jay-z, isn't it? right? >> rough gig for him. not doing well at all. >> exactly, so finally, he gets a little money in his pocket from the agent commission. but in all seriousness, this is a very good deal for robinson cano. ten years, $240 million. that's the third richest contract in baseball history. and it is actually very good for jay-z, because this is his first major deal in his relatively new business, being a sports agent. so he got cano this blockbuster deal that sends a clear message to other big-name athletes, you want to go with jay-z, because he will walk into the room and strike you a good bargain.
