Edwin DFA'd, Soriano up

[Cubbie Swagger]

Soriano had a 2.6 WAR as recently as 2012? That's sort of a cool fact.

our long national nightmare is over

12 hours and no mention of how the Cardinals will pick him up and turn him into Sandy Koufax? For shame.

The ellipsis here is so weird. If you're going to go with the no punctuation thing, commit to it.

The Cardinals will be needing SP for sure. Wacha and Martinez are already past their IP in a year, so at some point they'll be gassed. That leaves Lynn and Lackey and Garcia can't stay healthy.

I thought you made Hulk with Hypnotiq. Either way, Edwin Jackson is a clearly 17.

Two interesting quotes from Maddon, for different reasons.

 

“He looks like he’s in really good shape,” Maddon said. “I told him to be ready for the latter part of the game.”

 

“He smelled really good,” the manager added. “I have to ask him about his aftershave.”

Released today, according to CBS.

Released today, according to CBS.

 

Given the dislike for Soriano expressed by some on this forum, I think it's worth clarifying that E. Jackson was released, not R. Soriano :wink:

Nice hope he starts vs the cubs so we can hit some bombs off him next weekend

Some of you will have toforgive me, but I really like the willingness of this regime to admit a mistake and move on. Basically that they understand what a sunk cost is.

Why would anyone have to forgive you for that

Because saying nice things about the Cubs front office is not tolerated by some.

They showed that with Veres. Though not as much money, they wasted no time taking a $4sometbingMM bath. Such is the risk of a guaranteed contract. You do what you can to make a trade, but if nobody bites and you value the roster spot more than the player, it is what it is.

Good lord, what on earth did Kyle do to you, you poor thing?

Hey, when you've been lurking for 12 years, you come out of the shadows slowly and carefully.

Don't know if this has been answered elsewhere, but do the Cubs get any $$$ break on his contract or do we still have to pay him the full $$$ thru 2016?

I think they pay him a prorated league minimum.

Cubs released RHP Rafael Soriano.

The veteran right-hander was designated for assignment earlier in the week and has now been granted his outright release. Rather than search for a minor league deal, it's expected that he'll take the rest of the season off in preparation for free agency.
