Robinson Canó Jr. has a home in MLB.

Canó Jr. reposted various Instagram stories on Monday, showing photos of him celebrating with friends and family.

A photo of him seemingly signing his contract also includes a message in Spanish that means “Congratulations to the best, as always.”

His father, the 44-year-old Canó, made his debut with the Yankees in 2005 and spent nine seasons in the Bronx where he earned five of his eight All-Star nominations and all five of his Silver Slugger awards.

He also won a World Series in 2009 — the last time the franchise won a title.

Canó went on to spend five years in Seattle followed by stints with the Mets, Padres and Braves across his 17-year career that was also marred by two suspensions involving performance-enhancing drugs.

In 2018 while with the Mariners, he was banned for 80 games after testing positive for furosemide, which was followed by a full season suspension with the Mets in 2020.

He went unsigned following the 2022 season and the elder Canó moved on to take his professional career internationally.

This year, Cano Jr. hit .291 with 15 home runs and 72 RBIs in the Mexican League with the Diablos Rojos del México.

The Marlins are currently slated to open their spring schedule with games against the Mets and Cardinals on Feb. 19 in Port St. Lucie and Jupiter, Fla., respectively.
