[chicagofan08]

Interesting, I wonder what the asking price will be?

Has there ever been a 4 win player with less trade value?

I dont think his value will be that bad considering we will have to pay most of the contract. We should get a decent return.

Hopefully one of Atlanta, Philly, Cincy, SF, NYY, Tampa, Baltimore, Oak will give up something good.

Asking price will probably be a pitcher or a young OFer, as it's probably always been at all the other points they've shopped him.

The question is if he's truly a 4 win player headed forward.

I'd say he's not. His UZR last year was probably a ruse.

We won't get scraps...i think we will be surprised with the return. Soriano has upped his value a ton.

David Kaplan:

Cubs skeptical they can move Soriano. They will not eat all the remaining dollars unless they get something good in return. No point.

[captainatheism]

Ugh. Just eat the contract and get a good return for him. There's no need for a large market team to be this stingy.

Soriano could be consolation prize for one of those teams. Justin Upton to Atlanta has been speculated, but that deal may never materialize with Arizona asking for Simmons in return.

it said they wouldn't eat it unless they got a good return. I don't understand your post.

[TooL D/R/T]

^As they shouldn't. Seems fair, you get a productive player for next to nothing dollar wise but pay in specs...That's a decent option for teams.

Yes and why the heck would u want your team to throw away 36 million bucks. How are they being stingy.

if we do get a choo masterson/baldo deal done, that almost makes me want to keep sori's 25hrs and 80rbi. or if he gets moved go hard for Hamilton.

I'll probably heave if give up anything of value for Ubaldo. I can't see why this FO would even attempt him. Rather remove him and try for Chisenhall.

not to sound naive or uninformed, but what is this proposed "rumor" of Choo/Masterson coming to the Cubs I haven't seen what everyones talking about, maybe I'm just missing it.
