The New York Yankees are expected to re-open negotiations with Robinson Cano this week.
Cano's CAA agent, Brodie Van Wagenen, says that Jay-Z will be a significant part of the talks.
"He's going to be intimately involved in all areas," Van Wagenen said. "And that has been true for the last six months. It's certainly true now. Jay is a very, very successful businessman, who has a keen understanding of value, a keen understanding of brands, and a keen understand of what this player, Robinson Cano, wants to accomplish in his career.
"He's been at the table both in strategy sessions and in preparation. And he absolutely has, and will continue to be, involved in the actual negotiations with potential suitors."
