Joakim Soria

Soria passed through waivers and although his results weren't great this year, his peripherals don't look horrible. He's owed $19 mil next season so we wouldn't have to give up much to get him. If we wanted to and KC was willing we could also have them eat some cash and give them someone we are concerned about on the cusp of the 40 man/Rule 5.

 

If his peripherals are fine, he may be a great bounce back next year and if RP's are worth anything they were this year, he might be a nice get.

What would be the point? To buy low and hope to flip him next year? They'd have to be paying almost his entire salary to make that worth it, plus it would be a risk because we'd probably have to give up something to get him.

 

I'd rather we give that spot to a young guy who might improve or some cheap pickup in the offseason that's lower risk.

I'm a flip guy and even I see no point in getting him. Maybe if it was a straight up claim but I don't know why the Royals would just let him go for free seeing as they will be trying to compete next year too.

Why would the Royals let him go? Because he's been horrible. I have seen enough of him this season to say we don't need his services.
