Monday, November 20, 2006 Soriano Officially a Cub...***Updated***The Alfonso Soriano deal is complete! The Chicago Cubs today announced that the club has agreed to an eight-year deal with five-time All-Star Alfonso Soriano. A press conference will be held today at 4:00 CST. We'll have details after the press conference. **Update** Jim Hendry would not commit to Soriano playing CF. He did say that he will play the outfield, and whatever position he plays, he will stay there all season. Hendry also emphasized that this by no means ends the Cubs free agent search. They will be looking to strengthen their pitching and add a few role players...possibly a left-handed bat. Jim confirmed that the Cubs and Juan Pierre have essentially parted ways. posted by Joe Hamrahi at 3:35 PM |

As long as the cubs are willing to consistently spend $100+ million each year this signing is ok. They can afford to over pay a bit. This would have been a horrible signing for some small market team.
Wow! And then Pierre turns around and gets $45 million from the Dodgers....on the back of two good seasons, one in Colorado and one in Florida! Unbelievable!
