Can't say they aren't trying. Cubs just added possibly the best player in baseball. Alfonso Soriano and the Chicago Cubs have reached a preliminary agreement on an eight-year contract worth about $136 million, a major league official told The Associated Press today. Soriano had 46 homers and 41 stolen bases giving Piniella one of the best power/speed combo lead-off players in the game. Right in time for me to make my move to Chicago to start watching some games in person.
Cubs have already made a bit of a splash with the re-signing of third baseman Aramis Ramirez to a five-year, $73 million deal, signing free agent Mark DeRosa to play second base and re-signed pitchers Kerry Wood and Wade Miller. Soriano is a .280 career hitter with 208 homers and 560 RBIs.

Not to rain on the parade, but there is no way he is possibly the best player in baseball. The Cubs did get a lot better though.
not raining on my parade i think Albert Pujols is the best player and when Lee is playing at 100% hes not bad either.
I'm still on the fence about the deal, but at least the Cubs are trying.
I will definitely be hitting up Spring Training this year... get a first look at the new ballclub I guess.
he is going to make defense in centerfield an adventure.
