The Cubs aren't stupid, they know Soler will continue to get better as he continues to see high level pitching. Obviously he's a guy who you can't count on to play 150+ games a year but he makes perfect sense to platoon next year with Heyward/Almora/Schwarber/Bryant/Zobrist in the OF.
Bet you $5 he is traded before next season starts?

Ahhhhhhh.....shit for brains wants to take away the speech of others while maintaining his own right to talk stupid. This is exactly what Jefferson and the forefathers were trying to guard against, fuck face
I'm not the one constantly getting pwned on this forum, poopypants.

Like the great Silence always says: "wear a helmet"
This forum rid themselves of trolls. Wearing a helmet has nothing to do with disruptive dipshits such as yourself.

I think it's possible he's traded but it's only going to be if it's part of a deal for a TOR arm, which is getting full value out Soler.

If you want to bet that the Cubs trade him for less, I'll gladly take that bet. The guy they're definitely trading in the off-season is LaStella.

Two pitch pitcher. He's gotta throw that curve for strikes or he's dead. But you're right, he's been getting it over for strikes lately.

Seems odd that's Baez's first career triple.

No, you said they're going to "furiously try and dump him" and that's the part I disagreed with. They could trade him for value, sure. They have a ton of hitters and if they can get an arm, they'll trade him just like they would have last off-season. The guy they're going to dump to just get out of the organization is LaStella; with Soler they're going to be more selective if they trade him.

I get the reasoning they sent Baez there but I don't really like running on Marte.

Baez keeps trying. I knew Marte was going to hose him.

Whatever happened to that rule about not blocking the plate?
