Scouting report
Signed just before the clock struck midnight on the 2018 July 2 period, Cano got a $750,000 bonus from the Twins, using the international bonus money acquired from the Rangers in the Zack Granite trade. Cano touched 95 while working out for teams but sat there during Fall Instructional League in 2020 and has been up to 97, which is consistent with report I have from Cano's time on the Cuban National Team and for Ciego de Avila. He works from a low three-quarters slot with a sinker, slider, and splitter troika that generates groundballs more than it does strikeouts. After instructs, Cano picked up a couple innings in the Clemente League in Puerto Rico, where he threw strikes and overpowered the equivalent of (mostly) low-level hitters. I think he's good relief depth more than a firm, on-roster middle relief candidate due to his age and the movement profile on his fastball. (Fall Instructional League, LigaPRC)
