Cubs to shop Soriano at Winter Meetings

[KyleJRM]

We have two MLB starting OFers, and that's being a little generous to DeJesus. The ideal number is three. Moving Soriano takes us further away. I'm fine if there's a wider plan to fill the OF, but in a vacuum I don't see the point.

I want no part of Niemann for Soriano, but Cobb would be about as good as we could hope for. That said, I'd love to get Brown because of our lack of OF talent.

Well we would be selling high, which would be a welcome change.

I wonder if the Cubs will be looking into one of their old draft picks
Kyle Stroup in the rule 5 draft. He looks like he could be a nice pick up and has upside starter potential.

[CubbieSteve]

I think that if we move Soriano we need to get an OF'er back. Dom Brown makes a lot of sense. I don't really want to add Niemann, we've already added two of his types in Baker and Feldman. If we go after another starter I'd rather it be someone with more upside.

Worst case scenario, we trot Soriano out there and take his production. He's only got two more years left.

if we move sori i think that opens the door to go after hamilton

doubtful...I don't see us signing any of the free agent OFs but I think we will trade for one.

[ZamboniCub]

if the market for him is thin enough i would love a ~4/100. i doubt it too. but hamilton coupled with a choo choo trade +any 3b makes the lineup very respectable.
makes more sense than bourn.

Ohhh hell yeah.

I wouldn't be upset if we kept him. He's not blocking anyone at this time.

[TimbrH2001]

Still upset The Cubs drafted Hamilton in Rule 5 and traded him away. Knew that was a big mistake at the time unfortunately.

[StrandedCub]

No reason to trade Soriano for more of the back of the rotation types. Makes 0 sense. We have plenty of them and can buy more for relatively cheap. It has to be a OF or 3B. The only way it is a SP is if it is someone who they may see if vastly underperforming.

That's not really how that went down.
