Marlins Reportedly In the Bidding For Soriano

From Rotoworld.................

 

The Washington Post says the Angels, Astros, Twins and Marlins are currently involved in the bidding for Alfonso Soriano.

The Marlins? Florida is reportedly willing to part with young pitchers Yusmeiro Petit, Renyel Pinto and Jason Vargas to land Soriano. It would seem to be the height of foolishness on their part, but if it's a serious offer, they can't be completely discounted. The Dodgers and another team or two still could be involved as this one goes right down to the 4 p.m.

Acquiring Soriano would definately go against what everybody thought the Marlins were trying to do this year and would increase their payroll by about 66%.

Aint going to happen. This is strictly PR by the Marlins trying to convince what liitle fans they do have, that they are trying to compete.

Bowden planted that story. Can't be true.

I think that's a brilliant move by the Marlins. None of those three pitchers is that great and they can reap two top draft choices by simply letting Soriano walk away.

[Nobody youd want to know]

CBS Sportsline is now reporting that the A's are suddenly a serious contender for Soriano.

I didn't realize that the deadline happened to fall on opposite day.

I read that too. Not a bad move by Beane since they won't have to worry about his contract next year and they are struggling to score runs. They are a bit thin in ML-ready prospects though, and all indications are that Bowden wants the sun, moon and stars.
