The Seattle Mariners have emerged as a significant possibility to sign Robinson Cano.
The New York Yankees have not been wanting to move past seven seasons of $200 million.
A source calls the Yankees' odds of re-singing Cano at "less than 50-50."
"It doesn't look too good right now," said the source.
One of the sources said the Mariners were "desperate for hitting and desperate to put people in the ballpark."
"I wouldn't presume to say that there's no one out there that will meet (Cano's) demands,'' said another source.
The Texas Rangers could also emerge for Cano.
"Now it's a question of, does (Cano) want to be a Yankee, or is he just about the money?," said a baseball insider.
