    The Dodgers are interesting to be added into the mix. Also wondering how many rounds of bids are going to be accepted here. I know this will get done before July 2nd, but I want this done and over with so he can get over here if he is going to sign.

    According to Kevin Goldstein the Dodgers are a long shot for Soler. I'm still hopeful that the Cubs win because I really want something good to happen for this team in the next couple of days.

    It could still be argued that not spending a bajillion dollars on a prospect would be something good

    I wouldn't mind having him in the system though. Hopefully the other teams didn't go too nuts and the Cubs didn't bid that much.

    I agree to an extent, but this team's payroll was basically budgeted for spending a ton on Soler. It is a risk, but we need talent. And Soler is talented according to everyone who has seen him.

    Unlike other huge contracts this won't be as bad as an albatross if it fails but it'd be a bigger risk than Concepcion was. I guess it won't hurt too bad and if nothing else, business tax break.

    Only a four-year deal so I guess they intend on fast-tracking him to the majors.

    It might be a 4 year deal, but that doesn't mean that he gets the you have to grant him free agency at the end of those 4 years that Cespedes got. I doubt the Cubs would be willing to give Soler that when they weren't to the more ready Cespedes.

    I think it'd be sort of like Samardzija's deal where he's eligible for arbitration next year, but every single year of the deal he must be on the 40-man and burns an option.

    Yeah I always assumed it was a major league deal like Concepcion. So the Cubs will have to make a 40 man roster move if that is the case. Basically he burns an option each year so that means that he will have to stick by 2015 with Concepcion.

    It wouldn't be a shocker, but it would be slightly crushing. I know Rice disagrees, but I feel like we really need this as a springboard for rebuilding the system.
