AN ALFONSO SORIANO REUNION COULD HAPPEN TODAY

George King III of the New York Post (HERE) has the story. Alfonso Soriano could be coming back to the Bronx...

" In dire need of a bat with thump and an indication the Yankees may believe that Alex Rodriguez isn’t going to play this season, the toothless Bombers are close to acquiring Alfonso Soriano from the Cubs, The Post has learned.

According to a person familiar with the talks, the Cubs will pay the bulk of what is left on Soriano’s contract. He makes $18 million this year and the same for next season.

Like they did in the Vernon Wells deal, whatever the Yankees pay will be laid out for the little more than the $6 million remaining Soriano’s contract this season. That way the Yankees aren’t on the hook for money next year when they want to get the payroll to $189 million. Soriano has a no-trade clause, but he would not block a deal to put him back in Pinstripes.In return the Cubs will get a mid-level prospect."

Desperate times, desperate measures.  The Steinbrenner family have NOT put their best Yankee team on the field, despite them saying they have.  It's evident now, as we are desperately searching for power and stability in our starting rotation. Man oh man... it's almost like it's too late.  Something needs to be done. Alfonso Soriano could be a quick fix... but let's hope that strikeout ratio doesn't creep in.  We need confidence at the plate right now... not Ks.

Stay tune on this deal. We'll bring you more if this trade happens.
