Soriano is in his age 27 season. This is typically when players begin to reach their peak. He certainly has the potential to be a legit #1 or #2. He does become Arb eligible next year so if he gets close to elite status, he will be up for a huge pay raise from his current $2.9m (if there is a 2027 season). In any event, he should be plenty motivated this year so this could be a real breakthrough season for him.
If he is excelling near the trade deadline and the team is in the tank, he could have huge trade value and this could be a reasonable thing to do with a lockout looming, particularly if Arte does not want to pay the increased salary amounts he would be awarded in arbitration.
Please sweet baby Jesus, let’s hope so. He’s so inconsistent though. Hopefully he’s the prince that was promised amd gives us the king of kings trade ransom at the deadline.
A smart org would have pursued an extension with Soriano and got it done a year ago.
I’m no weatherman but today’s forecast makes for a likely doubleheader tomorrow
Ernie Banks would be up for that!
Praise the lord! Trout’s Jesus merch might be working.
I heading to Wrigley tomorrow. I’ve been watching the weather forecast for April 1st since it started appear ten days out very very diligently.
At first, it was to be a nice day at 70F. 😎
Then about five days out it started to go to 40F. 😐
And then about three days ago rain started to appear with the 40F 😕
Yesterday was the worst – rain all day 😪
Today it says no rain for tomorrow 🙂
Fingers crossed. I’ve never been to Wrigley, nor Chicago.
I’ve never been to a rain out. I’ve never been to a doubleheader. I don’t own a winter coat.
But I leave Phoenix at 5am tomorrow regardless. Today I’m buying a winter coat.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 safe travels! Maybe you luck into a Soriano start too
