Kid, explain again why there *aren't* reasons not to bring Soler up.

 

I'm not Kid, but Soler is signed to a major league contract and already on the 40 man roster. His salary and arb clock won't be effected either way.

Correcting only to say that Soler doesn't have an arbitration clock, I don't believe.  As I understand it, he's a free agent after 2020 no matter what.

 

The only reason to keep him in AAA is just to get him a little bit more time facing AAA pitching.  He still only has 60 ABs at Iowa (and only 150 ABs this season in total in the minors, including in Mesa).  Assuming he stays healthy, it does appear to be a near-certainty that Soler will be up in September.
