] spot that he recently filmed. Cano also signed on with MasterCard as part of the credit card company’s upcoming “Priceless” promotion in which Cano will visit with a lucky cardholder.
Cano recently shot a spot for Bing Mobile that will run in New York City taxis and he’s also agreed to a deal with Cameostars, a company that allows consumers to buy greetings by celebrities on social and mobile networks.
“Robinson is a bona fide superstar and he’s appealing to companies in part because he comes in at a lower cost of entry than an A-Rod or a Jeter,” said The Agency partner Russ Spielman.
Cano, whose career batting average is .310, has been a consistent everyday player for the Yankees for the last six seasons. In 2008, he signed a four-year, $30 million contract with the team.
