July 31, 201213 yr I'd love this if the Cubs weren't willing to eat most of the contract. Soriano, without that contract, is a very solid addition for the Tigers. Just not sure where he plays though.
July 31, 201213 yr Soriano is still owed about $42 million through '14. I'd imagine the Cubs would have to eat damn near $30 million of it to trade him.
July 31, 201213 yr Great addition in the near term. Next year when you can only DH one of Prince, Miggy, VMart, and Soriano....that defense will be crazy bad.

July 31, 201213 yr Dave Kaplan is just a total asshole. He just throws s*** out there. A total waste of a human.
July 31, 201213 yr Not that I don't believe it, but source please, and if I'm missing it, sorry, on a webinar, so split attention! lol Edited July 31, 201213 yr by SoxFan562004
July 31, 201213 yr QUOTE (sunofgold @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 03:17 PM) Yes. Please take Soreyano, Tiggs. Let him hop around there lol. Thankfully Detroit has a small outfield so he won't be required to cover a lot of ground out there, right?

July 31, 201213 yr QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 02:20 PM) lol, well damn Sorry, but he is. I can't stand that asshole.
July 31, 201213 yr Bob Nightengale @BNightengale Soriano not going to #Tigers, but staying, with #Cubs, at least for rest of this week. He will easily clear waivers, of course, in August.
July 31, 201213 yr QUOTE (Caesar @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 02:21 PM) Sorry, but he is. I can't stand that asshole. I hate when that clown is gooning around in Wrigley in his Cubs jacket, then they try to pass him off as "neutral". Corey McPharin (sp?) is a big Sox fan and the only way you would really know is because he got chocked up when they won the WS and he was talking about his dad, not because he's a meatball like Kaplan. Biggest joke in Chicago media, and that's saying a lot

Just a total jackass.

Two f***ing morons.
July 31, 201213 yr Wouldn't the Tiggs rather make the deal before waivers. Then they could have the cubbies pay part of his salary? Not that I care. Soreyano can barely run and is sloppy on the field. Kinda funny how the SCORE just repeats stuff like this about 15 Minutes later. Lol.
July 31, 201213 yr and in other shocking news, soriano isnt getting traded lol @ kaplan trying to act like he has all these sources

Lol. someone who is a little more familiar with the process could correct me if need be, but Soriano will clear waivers, no team is dumb enough to take that money, then Cubs and Tigers can work out a deal that would include Cubs eating some of that $$$

Any team that claims him off of waivers risks the Cubs allowing him to go without any type of compensation and the team that claimed him will be stuck with his entire remaining contract. Who in their right mind is going to take that risk with claiming Soriano?

What is the advantage of waiting. Just wanting more time to iron out details? Could Soriano veto a Trade after clearing waivers. He has full no trade clause, doesn't he?

Who in their right mind is going to take that risk with claiming Soriano? I just saw the answer to my question above. He'll simply clear waivers and then a deal can be worked out with any team without that risk. The deadline may be driving me crazy.

Could Soriano veto a Trade after clearing waivers. He has full no trade clause, doesn't he? Advantage would be Cubs are working to trade Dempster that teams want enough and his contract is friendly enough that they don't have to work out contract details. Easier for them to focus on Dempster/Garza when they won't clear waivers and forced to deal with one team, where as Soriano will fly through waivers and they have an extra 30 days.
July 31, 201213 yr If Tiggs want him, don't they risk losing him. Chubbies could deal him to another team before the deadline.
