Let’s talk about a name that used to strike fear into pitchers across Major League Baseball—Robinson Canó. The man is 42 years old, but if you ask him, he’s still got plenty of hits left in the tank for the MLB.
And when TMZ Sports caught up with him recently, he didn’t hesitate. Could he still get it done at the big-league level? His answer: “For sure. For sure! Yes!”
Canó hasn’t stepped into an MLB batter’s box since the 2022 season. That’s a long time away from the daily grind of the majors. But, according to him, the legs still feel strong, and the bat still feels quick. The belief is sky-high. “I believe that I can still play,” he said confidently.
And he’s not just talking—he’s about to put that confidence to the test. First up, he’ll be swinging away at Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack Foundation HBCU Celebrity Softball Classic in Houston, an event he straight-up dominated last year. Then, he’s off to Dubai, where he’ll suit up for the Arabia Wolves in the Baseball United UAE Series.
Is that the same as taking 95 mph fastballs from a big-league ace? No. But Canó clearly wants to show he’s still got it. And with MLB spring training just around the corner, it sounds like he wouldn’t mind if a front office or two took notice.
The question is—will anyone bite? Canó’s legacy is set, but baseball is a game that rarely looks back. Still, in a sport where experience and a good bat always have some value, you never know. Maybe, just maybe, we haven’t seen the last of Robinson Canó in The Show.
