Trading Soriano

[jersey cubs fan]

he just told you why.

 

but he hit 2 homeruns

 

Goony, point is he can hit the ball out of that park. It's not THAT difficult a place to play.

 

That isn't really the point. He can hit the ball out of any park. The point is the rate one would expect to do it in different parks is quite different.

Yeah, that's true. My thinking was that here is a contending team that actually wants him, and he doesn't want to go there. I don't see many other teams knocking down the door to get him.

Maybe he has confidence that Theo & Jed will lead the Cubs to be a contending team within the next couple years.

@thekapman: spoke with a solid source who told me that Tigers and Cubs are hard at work on Soriano. Not sure they can make money work.

Brett Taylor @BleacherNation

Kap and I hearing similar things. RT @thekapman Spoke w/solid source who said Tigers/Cubs are hard at work on Soriano. Not sure if $ works.

The #Cubs say that Alfonso Soriano likely staying put, but things could change in August when he clears waivers.

[Guest]

some old [expletive] on mlbn said he didn't know if the tigers needed another "dysfunctional" player in soriano.

David Kaplan obviously has influence at MLBN.

All I've freaking heard all season is how great of a clubhouse guy he is.

What does dysfunctional player even mean? Edited July 31, 2012 by haubrich91

[El Duderino]

maybe he meant dysfunctional knees

[davell]

Good God, he's probably one of the best teammates in baseball. He's been excellent for us. I truly don't care if he gets dealt or not. Concentrate on the others, which I'm sure they're doing anyway.

The hell?!? I don't think I've ever heard anything about Soriano, during his time with the Cubs, in regards to him being a bad teammate/distraction/not hard worker/etc.

[javy knows my name]

It's the new "fiery latino"

 

John Hart is a dumb [expletive]

JIM BOWDEN @JimBowdenESPNxm

Alfonso Soriano will not be traded before the deadline today....but possibility of August deal exists...but Cubs have to eat more money

[El Duderino]

Yeah, and Dempster to Dodgers is done deal. Crossing the i's!
