Alfonso Soriano WILL NOT OK trade to Giants

[RyanLeafOfBets]

According to Jim Bowden of ESPN.com and MLB Network Radio on Sirius XM, Alfonso Soriano has told the Cubs that he will not accept a trade to the Giants.

Are you kidding me? You haven't been relevant since 2007. You've had some solid years, but you can't catch a fly ball to save your life.

Are you waiting on an AL team to trade for you to DH to save the embarrassment on missing routine fly balls?

I don't get it...

He has earned that right, and did the right thing giving the Cubs management a heads up.

Defense has actually improved this year, and will give some team a hot bat.

He's coming to East Los anyways.

I'm hearing Dempster and Soriano to the Dodgers.

[LostBankroll]

Soriano to the Os for Johnson and David Weiters.....

[STAY STRONG]

Going to Los Doyers.

[ChalkyDog]

Heard Soriano is being pawned off on Dodgers in the Dempster trade. I would give away damn near anything if allowed to send Soriano on the deal.

Give up both Garza and Dempster if we can unload Soriano - we don't even need much in return. Will send flowers to dodgers if they do this.

I must say I had no idea Soriano hit 46 homers and stole 41 bases in 06 with the Nats. Forgot he even played there

Apparently him playing for the Nats is what makes this deal so believable due to some guy who worked for the Nats that is now with LA.

If this happens, I will never doubt anything ever again.

There has never been a more untradable player in all of sports. Even Gilbert Arenas got traded.

That contract is unbelievable

[NYSportsGuy210]

Mets should have traded Jason Bay for Soriano and $4 million straight up this year.

[jjgold]

Another Dominican that poisons a team

[Killer_Demo]

im glad the giants didnt pick him up...another nig-morgan type personality

[HilltopTony]

Soriano is going to end up with the Tigers and Dempster will stay put with the Cubbies

Tigers, Cubs Discussing Alfonso Soriano

By Tim Dierkes [July 31 at 2:04pm CST]
2:04pm: The Tigers and Cubs are hard at work on Soriano, tweets David Kaplan of CSNChicago.com, but he's not sure if they can make the money work. Soriano is owed $42.3MM through 2014.
1:18pm: Manager Jim Leyland thinks the Tigers may be done on the trade front, tweets Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe.
10:57am: The Tigers have considered Alfonso Soriano, but don't think he's a great fit, Knobler reports (on Twitter). They asked about Scott Hairston, but the Mets wanted one of the Tigers' top five prospects in return.
10:24am: The Tigers are seeking a middle-of-the-order hitter in the wake of discouraging news on Victor Martinez's recovery from knee surgery, writes Danny Knobler of CBS Sports. Martinez is said to be 50-50 to return this year, so the Tigers are "looking hard" for another bat.

POS

His defense has made considerable stride this year which is amazing at his age of 42
