@YankeesDaily: #Yankees New York Yankees are making a strong push to sign Cuban defector Jorge Soler, sources say http://t.co/3FOoJkDw via @newyorkpost

 

Sounds like when all is said and doen, this is going to get very expensive. I'm just imagining Theo and Cashman back and forthinf auction style with Pavners eyes turning into dollar signs and a cha ching going off each time.

[Clem Fandango]

Yeah, why has there been no effort to bring Marlin to NSBB? I doubt he would mind talking to less idiots.

 

Hey everyone, nice to be here! My name is Marlin!

tss tss Like the fish tss tss

Well, it's been fun!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Theo doesn't have a great history of beating out Cashman in these sorts of deals.

I won't be satisfied with these rumors until I hear it from one of the 2 girls in that video featuring the cup.

Thoughts on this latest news WSR?

Too bad Heyman didn't put a #sneakysneakybraves tag in there

Cubs will probably have eat 95% of Soriano's contract. Potential fit with Orioles. Won't get much in return.

 

Other GMs are skeptical of what Cubs could get for Dempster in return (B- prospect). Less value in Dempster because no Type A/B FAs. Not sure if he can pitch in AL.

 

Would get most for Matt Garza. Other GMs expect him to be traded. Red Sox, Blue Jays, Yanks could all be in play. Blue Jays match up best.

 

And then my internet feed cut out so I missed a bunch in between.

 

Thinks something with Soler will happen in next 48-72 hours.

 

Even if a high bid is picked, still some negotiating to do w/terms.

 

Everyone thinks Cubs are favorites. Yankees are expected to be high bidders. Dodgers involved.

 

Agent has leverage, so he can have high demands. Some GMs think it'll be $25-35M.

 

Has power potential, good patience at the plate. Worth taking a gamble on for the Cubs.

 

Now talking Sox.

AKA literally nothing we didn't already know.

Thanks, anyways!

Well, the potential 48-72 hour thing is new, and shitty.

Enough of this.

[Banedon]

Well, the potential 48-72 hour thing is new, and [expletive].

 

That just sounds like "we really have no idea when we'll hear anything, so let me throw out an arbitrary time frame."

[SouthSideRyan]

Not sure if he can pitch in AL.

 

Getting really sick of seeing this [expletive].

[jersey cubs fan]

Is it still technically before Monday anywhere on the planet now?

Exactly what I thought when I heard it.
