Value rising....trade trade trade.

 

Knees still hobbled...still crazy expensive...still Alfonso Soriano...value not changing.

 

Eh, trade him to an AL team to be a DH and at least the exploded knees might matter less. Otherwise, yeah. Soriano hot streaks are still fun to watch.

 

It hasn't been just a Soriano hot streak. He's given steady production since the beginning of May, and I don't remember that type of thing from him since 2008.

 

Saying it more than once doesn't make it so.

If we're actually willing to pay 90% of his contract, I could see an AL team giving us SOMETHING of value back.

 

Why? He's still Soriano, he's still old and still injured.

Because a little more than half the teams in the league are getting less out of LF than they'd likely get from him, and some of those teams are actually trying to win games this year.

And he's THIS close to being out for the year due to his knees. If the Cubs trade him it'll be effectively be just to trade him. They're not getting anything of value regardless of how much of the tab they pick up.

What I consider value to be for Soriano is something like a top 20 prospect from an average system. If he can go to an AL team and DH, I think that's doable.
