Trade Soriano to the Angels

BigGuy Posts: 37,946	The idea is a tempting. That's a lot of money they could save. But just as important, Soriano has an opt-out in his contract after this season and Boras is his agent. There's always the chance he could use that opt-out and try to go elsewhere. They could get something of value in return rather than just let him walk for nothing. It would make sense from both sides. The only question then is if Hughes returns to his old form in the pen or continues to struggle. If I had confidence that Hughes could return to his 09 form he showed in the pen, I'd do it. But based on what Hughes has shown so far, he hasn't exactly instilled much confidence.

I'd be surprised if Boras misses an opportunity to get more years and dollars for his client. If Soriano opts out I'd be crushed if the suits in Tampa blink a second time. ( for the record I was for bringing in Soriano but after the dust settled not at that price nor the ridiculous opt out. ) I hate opt outs and the organization should never give another one unless it's mutual. The Lord will either calm your storm . . . or allow it to rage while He calms you. ~ unknown
