Soler Eclipse in Miami

Jorge opted out of his contract. Wil be interested to see what he gets. He was making $12M/year.

I honestly don't think it's going to be much. Coming off a 100 and 95 wRC+ before his 126 this year. He's also 31, which makes me feel incredibly hold. Maybe 2/24 or 3/30 on the high end?

I like that Jorge is an actual lefty killer.  A lot of our righties are better against lefties, but not WAY better.  On the whole that's better, but you do actually want 1 or 2 guys who are like 150 wRC+ vs lefties /100 vs righties.  I also like that he's a proven DH.  A lot of guys can't actually do it even if it's where they ought to play(the Giambi conundrum).

That said, Soler opting out means he feels pretty confident he can net a multi-year deal.  As much as I do like some things about his bat, that feels pretty close to being a hard pass.  If he could fake it at 1st or we were more confident in getting his 2023 level of production it'd be different.
