If you were starting a small market team, then yes, Cano>Cabrera.
It's all moot since the Yankees aren't starting from scratch. They are a championship caliber team that has holes that need to be filled. If you trade Cano, arguably the second best 2b in MLB, you are creating a hole to fill a hole. Melky is easily replaceable via free agent, Kennedy's short term production is easily replaceable. Those are also two nice fits for Florida. The key is the 3rd/4th players. The Yankees have a very deep farm system and can give up two middle tier prospects (Ramirez, Gardner) or give up another top flight guy (Jackson, Betances). That would definitely be worth it from the Marlins POV (save money, fill black hole in CF). The question is, would anybody pony up more? The answer is, maybe.
