the Cubs should trade for Tyler Clippard from the A’s. Cubs could send back a minor prospect and get a experienced set up closer type of player.

Why would the A’s take a minor prospect for Clippard when they can just QO him and get a draft pick. They wont just give him away.
VAR
Ummmm…because no set up man in their right mind would turn down a 1 year 15 million dollar offer. And the A’s couldn’t afford to pay him that if he said yes. It would take more than a minor prospect, but the QO isn’t why.

Strikeouts are way down, and the walks are way up. I would be weary of Clippard.

They do get wearisome, don’t they?
I’d even be “wary” of Clippard.

After the most recent trade with the A’s, I’d imagine Beane and his front office would be reluctant to work with ours for a little while. When a trade goes so horribly one sided, you have to at least consider the question of if you got hosed intentionally. The more recent, the higher the impact, and the fresher the memory. Red flags could be raised, and understandably so. It’s like a game of Monopoly with ball players.

“I think Soriano could help about 10 teams now,” Boras told reporters. “…
Oh, no doubt.

It’s crazy he hasn’t signed yet. Teams like LAD & SD could use him to bolster their pens.
Steve Adams
Kind of surprised he didn’t say 20, actually!

I apologize to MLBTR for my last deleted random post. I was accidentally posting on the wrong site. MLBTR does a great job at moderating posts!
Blah blah blah

Soriano is going to help no one this season. Just look at the two guys that signed mid season last year, Kendrys Morales and Stephen Drew. Neither of them were productive at all. I attribute that to the lack of Spring Training. Sure you can rehab in the minors, but it’s not the same. Soriano might help n 2016, but he will be an expensive mistake for someone in 2015.

Possibly, Valverde did the same thing a few years back when he first re-signed with the Tigers and was a pretty large bust. Clemens use to do this too but he was a different breed.

If multiple teams are “reaching out” for Soriano, there’s got to be some desperation. It will be mid June before he can get back on the field, and his last couple of months last season do not give cause for optimism. Boras may be talking heavy interest, but Soriano can really only be a flyer, not a significant contract.

Cubs must be on Drugs for considering the Juicier Soliaino, when Paps is available for Baez the Cubbies unloved prospect,
