Robinson Canó Joins Tomateros on Reported $60,000 Deal
robinson canó signed with the Tomateros de Culiacán on May 14, and the deal is reported at 60 thousand dollars per month plus incentives. At 44 years old, he arrives as one of the biggest names tied to the club’s roster move and, by the same report, the best paid player in the league.
Padilla Sets the Date
Raymundo Padilla put a hard date on the signing: “Es cierto, nosotros firmamos con Robinson el 14 de mayo y lo afirmamos de manera absoluta”. That leaves no ambiguity about when the Tomateros moved, and it places the club’s decision squarely on May 14.
The reported monthly figure gives the move its edge. A 60 thousand dollar salary plus incentives is not framed as a routine pickup, and the same report says Canó turned down offers from Estrellas Orientales and the Águilas Cibaeñas before landing in Culiacán.
Canó’s Recent Line
Canó’s latest statistical line adds a sharper edge to the signing. In 30 games in 2025-2025, he was reported to have hit.219 with one home run and seven RBIs, a production level that makes the Tomateros’ financial commitment a notable bet on name value and veteran presence.
The contract also arrives in a league context that is already tracking player movement and salaries. The reported deal would make him the best paid player in the league, which turns this from a simple roster addition into a market marker for how clubs are valuing proven names.
Mayos and Miguel Tejada
The same source also points to another move in the region: Miguel Tejada was named manager of the Mayos de Navojoa. Tejada is the current manager of the Bravos de León, and he previously directed the Águilas Cibaeñas in an interim role during the 2014-2015 season.
For Tomateros, the immediate takeaway is the salary and the timing. Canó is in, Padilla has fixed the signing date, and the reported terms place the club at the top of the league’s pay scale while the former big leaguer steps into a roster spot that carries both expectation and scrutiny.
