Cano has moved on since 2018 suspension: 'All that is forgotten'

Two years removed from his 80-game suspension for testing positive for a banned substance, New York Mets veteran second baseman Robinson Cano says he's at peace with the past and has moved on from the controversy.

"All that is forgotten, I already paid what I had to pay," Cano said, according to Hector Gomez of ZDeportes. "People have their free will to criticize, it's normal in the human being. We all make mistakes."

It remains to be seen whether Cano's suspension will have any lingering effect on his Hall of Fame chances after his playing career. An eight-time All-Star, Cano has hit .302/.352/.490 with 324 home runs and 1,272 RBIs across parts of 15 seasons.

Based on his JAWS score of 58.7, Cano is ranked tied for seventh all time among second basemen with Bobby Grich and just ahead of Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg.

At the time of the positive test, Cano - then a member of the Seattle Mariners - accepted the suspension for Furosemide, a substance often used as a masking agent for steroids. He said a doctor prescribed it for him to deal with an injury.
