Yeah I know. But Hendry would throw in those no trade clauses like a dealership trying to get rid of a floormat surplus.

So much for Cubs leaks. Still don't even know the return and it's an official deal.


They are choosing between crappy A starting pitcher Corey Black or AA closer Tommy Kahnle.

I would take Kahnle. The big story is the money. Cubs will pay $17.7M left on the contract.

He isn't crappy. He just needs to get tuned up. He has an extremely live arm.

The Legend that was this trade:

Hendry was negotiating a 5 year deal, but John McDonough was Mr President who then called Sori's agent and asked what would it take to get the deal done so Soriano was in Chicago the next day! Agent said, 2 More years, McDonough said "DONE" and thus the 7 year anchor was created!!

He got an 8-year deal.

Whatever last 3 years of the FA deal, it was still a 5 year deal by Hendry

While I think NY got a good deal, I have feeling Sori limited the destinations of the deal to at the very most 2

I believe he was also the last guy on the club to have a no-trade clause. Small, but notable, point.
