Soriano Suitors Down To Two
Word from a source is that the teams still standing in the Alfonso Soriano sweepstakes are only the Astros and Angels.
The White Sox, Tigers, and Twins appear to be out of the game, decreasing Jim Bowden's leverage. Would've been nice to play off the AL Central rivals against one another.
Plenty of trade candidates have been connected to the Astros in recent days, including Roy Oswalt, Morgan Ensberg, Willy Taveras, Brad Lidge, and Adam Everett at the Major League level. L.A. seems to be dealing more in prospects, with Erick Aybar likely on the way out.
Dodgers out of it too?

Not sure, but I've just heard that the Nats are talking to only those two teams. Didn't talk about the Dodgers specifically.

I really think the Dodgers are going to end up with him.

No one is out of it until the deadline has passed. Less than 16 hours now... sit back, relax, get some sleep, & let's see what happens. It certainly wouldn't surprise me if he was traded somwhere besides Anaheim or Houston.

I dunno man, some teams have sent everyone home. But I guess technically you are right.

Hey you said the Astros talks with Soriano are dead but you linked to an article that tells why they backed out of the Tejada talks. So are the talks with Nationals for Soriano dead or not becuase that article has nothing to do with what you posted.

Wow good point. I think I need a cup of coffee or something. For some reason I thought Rosenthal's article was on Sori.
