We only know as much about the mindsets of professional athletes as they want to tell us, and while Cano used words like "corazon" heart and "orgullo" pride in his responses to questions in Spanish on Tuesday, he was not providing much insight in English. Maybe he wasn't in Spanish, either, but the point is that the vast majority of those who would boo Cano for leaving New York are English speakers, and he felt no need to explain himself to them.

Nor should he, not least of all because there is nothing that a star athlete can say to avoid being booed by his former home fans. They're going to boo you because you're on the opposite team. The last thing they want is for you to come here and do well. I have to understand that. Cano also should understand that while he said he does not want to talk about the past, meaning his departure from New York, the more extensive past of his career with the Yankees does matter and does influence the future.

He should have a chance to be cheered in the Bronx again on Old Timer's Day in or so, and he may well go into the Hall of Fame someday as a Yankee. Cano had 1, hits here, plus that World Series ring.
