Friday, December 11, 2009

News: Soriano agreed to a one-year, $7.25 contract with Tampa Bay as part of his trade from Atlanta and avoided arbitration, the St. Petersburg Times reports.

Analysis: Soriano's decision to take arbitration with the Braves forced a trade to Tampa Bay and may have earned him more money than he would have received on the free agent market since he would have been burdened with the additional cost of a team losing a draft pick to sign the Type-A free agent. If Soriano can stay healthy, he could be one of the top closers in the AL.

Wednesday, December 09, 2009

News: Soriano has been traded to Tampa Bay, the St. Petersburg Times reports. The deal is pending a physical.

Analysis: The Braves would get a prospect (Jesse Chavez according to FoxSports.com) and Tampa Bay would pay all of Soriano's salary. If this deal goes through, Soriano could become one of the top closers in the AL (with the caveat of Soriano's usual injury risk).
