Why is it not rational? I was never thrilled to have him on the team
in the first place. In addition, if no wants his contract as you state
then that just goes further toward proving my point. We currently
have a number of players who could take over in left field if we lost
Soriano. We should be getting out of his ridiculous contract now
before he becomes completely untradable.
