Soriano open to being traded to contender

As a Cubs fan, the quote "if they want to trade me, I hope it is to a team that's a contender" makes me want to let a stream of expletives fly. Is it possible for Theo to trade him to Chicago Waste Management Services. At least that way he'd feel right at home with the rest of the garbage in Chicago.

The only way he will leave the Cubs is that they will pay most of his salary.

Talk about Diminishing Power and skill level. This guys has DL written all over him. Good luck Theo getting rid of this trash.

The rebuilding cannot and will not start until Theo dumps this load.

ricketts will write that check....horrible contract, simply horrible. we all knew this day would come when he signed that deal. flush this turd and get some youth that can play all 9 innings of defense.

Face the music...he's toast.

More like "Sheeeet on a shingle," from last week... Rotten and putrid.

Soriano is the biggest waste of natural talent I've ever seen in sports. If he'd been more interested in trying to win a ring all of his career instead of trying to look cool, he'd be worth the ridiculous money they threw at him. There's no chance he's going to be traded because the Cubs can't get the talent in return to make it worth paying a hefty part of his salary, and no suitor is going to take on that boondoggle.

Talk about a major bust....I would touch this guy with a ten foot pole..<flips quarter to ZZ Top>

And I bet the contenders are just lining up to take you, Alfonso!!!!

That whole Tribune sale situation was terrible. Hendry had a classic case where "moral hazard" came into effect. Hendry was spending money that he knew he and his ownership would not be responsible for. The Cubs were legit contenders for a few years, although they were unable to win a playoff game. Now, we have to put up with a couple years of mediocrity. But, for the first time in a long time the Cubs have some young talent that they have developed from their system that are going to be a part of the club for a long time. It's hard though when the White Sox across town are contending now (and are always sniffing the playoffs) and have studs from their farm system contributing as well (Chris Sale, Ramirez, Viciedo) along with their high priced vets (Konerko, Peavy, Dunn). Speaking of Dunn, if the Cubs would have signed him instead of Milton Bradley I don't think we would be talking about the Cubs the same way.

What team in the known universe would want a thirty-six-year-old, .267 hitting, plays left field like he's in Little League outfielder who is scheduled to make $18 million this year?

I hope the Rangers are not in a "dancing mood". they don't need to bring this fool back.

if i gotta read one more trade soriano story i'm gonna projectile vomit. forget about the money he's owed. no contender is going to see soriano as an upgrade over what they currently have. the guy was vastly over rated in his prime and has been sub-replacement level for at least 2 yrs now. we're not going to be able to trade him. so just stop.

It has already started, but yeah, dumping him would be nice.

WHERE COULD BE THE RIGHT TEAM FOR SORIANO?? RED SOX? YANKEES? THE RANGERS? THE REDS? THE BLUES?

Stick a Fork in him, he is an inning ender!!!

It was a bad contract when it was signed.
He does have 3 HRs last week.

Two of those three came against the Padres (the team Jed wrecked before he came to the Cubbies) while the wind was strongly blowing out at Wrigley Field. Between those two homers there was only one Cubbie on base.
