Soriano price is wrong
Jul 26 - According to The New York Post, the Mets are interested in Rangers second baseman Alfonso Soriano. Texas has let it be known that they want Jose Reyes as part of any deal, and also crave outfield prospect Lastings Milledge, but that price is too high for New York.
Soriano is making $7.5 million this year and will be eligible for an arbitration raise after the season. He will be a free agent after 2006.
Right now, a trade for Soriano appears to be a longshot. Not only would the Rangers' price have to come down, but also the Mets would have to determine whether Soriano would be worth the cost it would take to keep him for next season. After arbitration, Soriano would command approximately $9-10 million next season.
**Personally I feel like the guy is overrated now. He isn't the player he was 2 years ago. He is still a top 3 or 5 second baseman.. but he is a free swinger with a low OBP and he hardly runs anymore.
