The Cubs are picking up $17.7 million of Soriano's remaining $24.5 million.

Soriano is still owed $6.5 million for the rest of this season. The Cubs are covering $4.7 million of it it. Yankees will pay just $1.8 million.

In 2014 when Soriano makes $18 million, the Cubs are covering $13 million. Yankees will pay just $5 million.

Cubs will also receive a low-level pitching prospect.

That is such bullshit. Watch him be great again for the Yankees and they gave up basically nothing for him.

Seriously? Why even trade Soriano? Enjoy the gift Yankees!

They get a long-term asset for Soriano under team control and save $$$ on the sunk cost of the contract. They can pick up someone cheap in FA to replace the production if needed until their prospects are ready to come up.

It also frees up time for Junior Lake to play in the OF every day.

Also Soriano going up there and hacking at every pitch thrown even if it's way out of the zone isn't the best role model for the younger guys.

Mets have a day/night doubledip with the Nats, Mejia pitching Game 1 (of course I'll miss it outside of GameCast). If the Mets win Game 1, they have a great chance to win 3 of 4.

Either that, or play Travis Hafner. He's hitting .170 since the end of April, aka he's hitting WORSE than Ike Davis.

Hafner's a great hitter when he is healthy, just when his shoulder problems flare up he turns back into a pumpkin.

It's a real shame, because the guy (was)is an elite hitter, he just has chronic injury issues.

Yankees are best off just cutting bait on the guy. It's not going to get any better this year.

Can't decide if that's enough relief to make it worth it for the Cubs, as Yankees are getting some value out of this. But all said, he's not helping the Cubs anymore and $7million does help to get back. It was such a god awful contract from Hendry, and the city knew it week 1. Just starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel..

Braves general manager Frank Wren and his scouts will spend the next few days evaluating the small group of available starting pitchers who could legitimately upgrade the rotation. Instead of pursuing a middle-of the-rotation piece like Bud Norris, the club’s interest in this department is focused on the likes of Jake Peavy and Ervin Santana.

The Braves had a scout present to watch Peavy throw 118 pitches and complete seven innings against the Tigers on Thursday. This outing seemed to diminish any fears about the lingering effects of the fractured right rib that sidelined the White Sox right-hander from June 5-July 20.

Peavy is owed $4.8 million for the remainder of this year. The 32-year-old Alabama native’s contract also includes a $14.5 million salary for 2014 and a $15 million vesting player option for 2015. All indications are that the Braves are financially in position to make this deal.

While trading Santana would diminish the odds of the Royals achieving their goal of recording a winning season, the club understands the future benefits that could be realized by trading the 30-year-old right-hander, who will be a free agent at the end of the season.

While the Braves do not seem to have any interest in Yovani Gallardo, they might ask the Brewers about Kyle Lohse, who has compiled a 2.49 ERA in the 11 starts he has made since the end of May.

It's so funny how shit can change immediately. The Braves had seven starting pitchers and had to figure out which two to dump to the bullpen/AAA. Now, they suddenly have Hudson out for the season, Maholm on the DL, and no veterans.

Has Sanjuro commented on this yet?

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he was "shocked" when his friend Ryan Braun admitted he violated baseball's rules against using performance-enhancing substances.

Rodgers says the Milwaukee Brewers slugger "looked me in the eye" and it "didn't feel great being lied to like that." He says he's disappointed.

Braun has accepted a season-ending 65-game suspension. He and Rodgers are friends and co-own a Milwaukee restaurant. Rodgers defended Braun on Twitter last year, saying he would bet his salary that his friend was clean.

On Thursday at training camp, Rodgers says he was simply "backing up a friend."

This happened to the Dodgers too with the Bills then Greinke injury. And we kept the wrong one (Crapuano) clearly. Not sure how Lilly has done this year but it couldn't be any worse.

Basically how I felt when the Cards lost Garcia, Westbrook, Carpenter, and Motte in a month or so's time. All of a sudden we had to throw the Lyons and Gasts and Kellys of the world into the rotation. Guess Mozeliak was wise not to trade away our apparent pitching depth over the offseason.

I totally disagree. You trade everyone and then all you have is a bunch of prospects, the majority of which will be complete busts. The Phils play in what is arguably the worst division in all of baseball. Even if they cant turn it around this year, maybe there will be some guy available in the off season to make a run next year.
