Cano hit 10 home runs last year during a season that was shortened by his 80-game suspension for PED use. He began the season with 311 career home runs, the second-most by second baseman in MLB history.

The Mets acquired Cano in a blockbuster December trade, sending Jay Bruce, Anthony Swarzak and three prospects to Seattle in exchange for Cano, Edwin Diaz and prospects, along with $20 million in cash.

One of the best days of the year. Happy Opening Day to all the players, teams, and fans out there. Especially to the @Mets for embracing me from Day One and to all my teammates. Wishing everyone a successful and healthy season. Let’s Go Mets 🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/FJheBPhEfl
