Nope. He still have not receive residency yet. There was reports he was close. Now they're saying he's not close. I say about a month to 2 months.

:obama:

I never 1 time said to spend money just because. Soler dont help the team now. He a future investment. Im saying spend money on proven MLB talent that makes you competitive WHILE building up the farm. Its going to take 3-5 yrs to build up the farm. Does anyone here understand that? With new cap on AM DRAFT and IFA, its going to take even longer to build the farm. So what i am saying is while they are building the farm why not spend on MLB talent on 1-5 yr deals to help MLB team be compeitive.

Phil Rogers seems to think it'll happen. Nothing official, but it's out there.

Today's MLBTR update:

Boston will pursue 19-year-old Cuban outfielder Jorge Soler, reports Speier. Soler is still waiting to be declared a free agent by MLB, but Speier says most in the industry (including the Red Sox) expect him to sign with the Cubs.

I wonder well he'll finally be declared a Free Agent, seems like we've been waiting forever on him.

Whose Twitter?

I wouldn't be surprised either way. I just hope they don't have to spend TOO much :D

I'm hoping it's less than the $27MM rumored. Seems a bit much for a prospect. But since they have the money to burn...

That is a pretty solid core of position players with Castro, Jackson, Rizzo, and Soler all under 24 years of age. Hopefully this gets done, but I refuse to get excited about this until it is official after the last time we went through this.
