The Nats were roasted by the media -- especially one of your colleagues -- for not trading or signing Soriano. As a result they netted Jordan Zimmermann. In hind sight -- not trading or signing Soriano looks like the right move?

The Rangers are looking good for trading Soriano, the Nationals are looking good for letting him go, and the Cubs are looking really, really dumb for giving him that huge contract.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I bring this up because I was all for the Cubs finally signing the best available FA (after missing out on guys like Hampton and Beltran.) I am not afraid to admit now that I was dead wrong on this one.
