While the Yankees have said that they would love to re-sign Robinson Cano this offseason, Yankees president Randy Levine indicated that the team would be willing to let go of their star if the second baseman received a contract offer that the team would not want to match or exceed.
From ESPN:
"Robinson Cano is a great player. We will sit down and talk to him," Levine told Bloomberg Television during an interview Tuesday.
"Hopefully he's a Yankee. Nobody is a re-sign at all costs, but we want him back and we feel good about negotiating something with him. But nobody is a re-sign at any cost."

When asked about Levine's comments, Cano declined to respond.
"Let's just see what happens when the season is over," Cano told the Daily News. "There's nothing I can say. Right now, I'm not paying attention to any of that.
