1 Final A-rod Trade Thought

Listening to the sports talk radio here late at night a guy just called in saying the Redsox could offer some prospects to the Rangers and maybe try and get Alfonso Soriano. After all the Redsox have a need at 2nd base.

The idea struck me as a pretty good one. We know Soriano looked like a little leaguer trying to hit curveballs in the playoffs, but its a low level risk to try and get him. Plus it is kind of a counter punch to the Yanks landing A-rod.

On the other side, what if the Cubs threw some pitching prospects at the Rangers? The only problem is he isnt a great fielding 2nd base man and scouts say he is better suited for the OF. Well thats all fine and dandy because Alou will probably be gone after this year.

That caller just got me thinking of what if's. I dont expect them to ever seriously pursue this angle.
