Soriano Going Where?

[Roy31]

Marlins & Red Sox have both had talks today with the Nats. So that would make 4 teams seriously interested in him. Marlins, Red Sox, Dodgers, And Angels. Where is he going?

[McKain]

Something tells me the Marlins weren't quite asking about Soriano.

[msneezie31]

When you think about it, and they say that Jim Bowden's asking price is too high, what exactly is the right price tag for Soriano. He's easily one of the best 10 players in the game, offensively, and he hits for power and can run the bases extremely well. Teams still try to test his arm in the outfield, and he leads the NL if not the majors in outfield assists. If the Nationals really want to get something out of him, they'll pull the trigger, save the money, and get a couple players that can help them now AND later by being signed already.

Where are the Marlins going to find $$$ to get him or who in the heck are they going to give up... There is a team that no one thought would do anything this year, and with a nice young nucleus, I highly doubt that the Marlins are going to part with any players this year.

[Roy31]

Well you know how the Marlins are they are a weird organization. They went and got Delgado in the offseason before. They could deal prospects for Sorri and make a serious run next season. Willis, Cabrera, Soriano, Hermida, Ramirez, Sanchez. Who knows...

Bowden ****s everyone up and signs Soriano to a 4 year deal.

[brewersfan19]

Bowden is trying to sign Soriano to a huge contract to make him even more valuable so he can ask for even more.

But what will happen is that he will sign him for more than most teams can afford and he will end up in pinstripes again. Cause $$$ means nothing to the Yankees.... Lets buy everyone's best players.... Point, see today's trade. The Yankees are taking over Abreu and Lidle's contracts...



GO BREWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And after that Delgado signing they went and traded most of their team. No way the Marlins do this!! The Marlins wil have their hands full trying to resign Willis and Cabrera alone.

[Kingdom]

I don't think signing Willis would be a problem. Taxi-Cab on the other hand, might continue to become more and more Manny and demand something ridiculous.

[love_that_reefer]

Cabrera will be expecting close to Pujols type money. Willis will be expecting more than Benson money

[Roy31]

When are there contracts up? Not till after next season I thought?

[love_that_reefer]

Yep after the season.

From rotoworld.com:

"The Washington Post says the Angels, Astros, Twins and Marlins are currently involved in the bidding for Alfonso Soriano.

The Marlins? Florida is reportedly willing to part with young pitchers Yusmeiro Petit, Renyel Pinto and Jason Vargas to land Soriano. It would seem to be the height of foolishness on their part, but if it's a serious offer, they can't be completely discounted. The Dodgers and another team or two still could be involved as this one goes right down to the 4 p.m. EDT deadline."

Yeah I read that too Raph. Im just wondering what the Twins have to trade?

Tons of minor league pitching. I don't know the availability of these guys, but Garza, Slowey, Baker, etc. would look really nice to the Nats.
