and why did teh Cubs sign him to a NINE year Contract

Cuban OF prospect. Contract covers all arbitration years and minor league seasons.

Soriano contract no lessons learned

During the Yoenis Cespedes signing sweepstakes, Soler's name was mentioned many times as someone the Nats might be interested in, but I seem to remember that the Nats didn't think as highly of him as some other teams apparently did.

Maybe it was because Jorge Solar's main position was RF? I mean, we already had that covered with Bryce. ;~0

Also, this signing has Theo's initials all over it as his style.

GO NATS !!!
