CANO'S $30M DEAL DONE

February 8, 2008 -- Robinson Cano Robinson Cano officially is a Yankee, as the team announced his new four-year contract yesterday.

Cano's deal, which has been reported previously, assures him of at
least $30 million over four years. He potentially can earn as much as
$57 million over six years, if the fifth- and sixth-year club options
are exercised.

The 25-year-old second baseman was first-time arbitration-eligible, so the Yankees New York Yankees
have bought out all three of his arbitration years and his first free
agency year, with the chance to keep him for two more free agency years
after that. Cano will get $3 million this year, followed by $6 million
in 2009, $9 million in 2010 and $10 million in 2011. He has a 2012 club
option for $14 million (with a $2 million buyout), and if that option
is picked up, he has a 2013 club option for $15 million with another $2
million buyout.

Con Edison Contractor Electrocuted in Queens

NEW YORK (AP) -- A Consolidated Edison utility company contractor has been electrocuted while installing cable in a Queens substation.

A Con Ed spokeswoman says he came in contact with a live cable.

The contractor was rushed Thursday afternoon from the substation to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Con Ed says its thoughts and prayers are with the worker's family.

The utility company and fire and police department officials are investigating.

The contractor's death is the latest misfortune for the utility.

Last November, a woman died after a gas leak sparked an explosion in Queens.

In July, a steam pipe exploded in Manhattan. A woman fleeing the
scene died from a heart attack, and two other people were badly burned.

Yanks to keep Stadium's hallowed name

NEW YORK -- No one does the Yankees as well as the Yankees. No
professional sports franchise carries itself so consistently, so
majestically and, at the same time, so simply. The Yankees know their
place in the game, in the city and in the stylebooks. They understand
that putting names on the backs of their uniforms would constitute
heresy and would prompt scorn, that changing their color scheme would
provoke protest and to stage home games anywhere other than an arena
named Yankee Stadium -- 1974 and 1975 notwithstanding -- would be
counterfeit, disingenuous and, well ... spiritually wrong.

Maintaining their understated ways and protecting their image of
tradition often is a savings -- what expense can be incurred by not
changing their logo? The Yankees' steadfast sameness seldom is an
economic measure.
This time it is, though, and one of enormous fiscal consequence. The
location of Yankee Stadium is to change in 12 months, from one side of
161st Street to the other. Not so the identity of the arena in which
American sports' most storied franchise conducts its business. Fifty
million dollars per year would buy an Alex Rodriguez annually or a
Jorge Posada perennially. But the Yankees say they have purchased
perfection permanently by rejecting all naming right inquiries.
