SOUNDBITE: (English) Robinson Cano, Seattle Mariners
"I'm going to be honest, when I became a free agent I knew that this is a game, but at the same time this is a business. Me as a player and them as an organisation, we both decide, they have to essentially decide what is good for them, and I have to decide what is good for me and my family. I choose Seattle which I think is a great decision, not only by me but by me and my family - which I want to say thanks to them for being with me through this process. I'm exciting and happy and I cant really explain how happy I am right now."

"I think we have a good opportunity with all this young talent and I know this team, this organisation, because this isn't just about the 2014 season."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Robinson Cano, Seattle Mariners
"I'm not going to lie - as a team you spend, ten, nine years and win a title. But now is the time where you have to turn the page. I'm happy to be here and excited, can't wait for next season, can't wait to see the crowd in the stands so we can start winning games and see how loud they can get."
