I still don’t like the odds of the Cubs unloading Soriano, no matter how much dough they’re willing to eat. BUT… if they’re going to pull it off, a market largely bereft of power hitters at the same time as Soriano is riding a hot streak is probably their best chance.

Well as a Cubs fan anything less than 100% odds is disappointing. He really needs to go this year, if for no other reason than to open the position and give the team some flexibility in if and when they bring up players like Rizzo or Jackson.
But that said, if the reports are true that they are willing to eat $45MM of the $48MM I don’t think the odds of a trade are bad at all (depending of course on what they ask for to do so). He’s easily worth that much money even with his diminished performance. Obviously he’d fit better as a DH, but his defense hasn’t been too bad this year. I think even NL clubs would be willing to take a chance for that money.

What about Edwin Jackson? I’m not familiar with the new rules, but he wants a long term deal. If the Nats offered 12 or 13 for next year it is more or less what he is making now, but would he accept a one year deal…? I guess he did this year…

I can understand the Brewers’ optimism… with Ryan Braun healthy and finally eligible to play again after serving his 50-game suspension for PED use, the Brewers can surely improve on the 23-28 record they’ve compiled so far this year without him :agreed:

One would think Andre Ethier would get a qualifying offer.
