Look for the cubs to be asking for packages again at the deadline for Soler.

Completely agree. For the Cubs to benefit, they will need him to stay off the DL and to be productive. I believe he will see quality playing time in both corner OF positions.

It’s a shame that Jake McGee got traded already because I really would’ve liked a soler for McGee and odorizzi trade or something like that. Now as a Cubs fan I’m hoping we can get crazy creative and package soler and multiple prospects (probably Almora, McKinney, and vogelbach) for carrasco or even Salazar. Sonny gray or chris archer would be the ultimate dreams but neither of those is happening

Nope. You only get one Archertunity.

My hunch is the Indians are going to scout Baez in CF. If Baez looks comfortable/capable in CF the Indians might try to make a deal for Baez. Instead of Jorge Soler, in the wake of Almonte’s suspension.

Doubtful. Look for the Cubs to ask for a MLB proven cost controlled pitcher to push for a playoff run that doesn;t involve trading Baez or Soler because they have a top 5 system still that blocks about 7 outfielders and Vogelbach.

Sorry, this reply was meant to reply to deadline deal, not the Indians post.

Don’t be surprised if the Cubs send Soler to the minors if he struggles at all. He has a clause that allows him to opt-out of his existing contract once he acquires 3 years of active service which would make him “arbitration eligible”. He’ll reach that late in 2017 if he plays every day. The Cubs may have invested in Fowler to ensure that they “slow the time-clock” on Soler’s Opt-Out date.

Soler is signed through 2020

Soler cannot opt out of his contract period. His 9 year deal is solid. He can only “opt in” to arbitration after a certain point but that means he can simply opt into arbitration and try to get more money but he cannot opt out and leave.
