Where Will Alfonso Go?
Less than an hour to go before the non-waiver trading deadline. And, of course, the biggest name out there is Alfonso Soriano. Will he stay in DC or will he go?
If he goes I really hope it's to the Twins (formerly the Washington Senators). I like the Twins-I've incorrectly picked them to win the World Series the past three years. Plus now I live just a few minutes away from their AA affiliate-the New Britain Rock Cats. They've got a lot of great young talent, some of which the Nats could definitely use. And Soriano would instantly make them a strong favorite for the AL wild card. Of course, I'm more a Nats fan than a Twins fan so I hope he stays. Actually, the dream scenario is he's traded for prospects then re-signs in the offseason.

Re: Where Will Alfonso Go?
I want the Tigers to get him if anyone is. It would be nice to see a crappy team have a chance this year.
They're MY Cleveland Browns.

Re: Where Will Alfonso Go?
You like Cleveland, TMC?
Changed my mind, he stays. |

Re: Where Will Alfonso Go?
It makes the most amount of sense for the team to trade him, but i'd like to see him stay and resign for a few more seasons. I was at the game a few months ago when he hit 3 HRs against the Braves. I was really hammered and I threw my hat onto the field after the third as I screamed "HAT TRICK, HAT TRICK!" I really liked that hat though...

Re: Where Will Alfonso Go?
I'm leaving work now, so when I get home in a half hour I'm expecting him to be on the Marlins.

Re: Where Will Alfonso Go?
Latest word that I heard is that Florida, yes Florida, is a possible candidate. His salary will equal the rest of the teams (not really).
TAFKAS, until the Nationals came, I was a Texas Rangers fan (still am) due to their historical ties with the Washington Senators.

Nationals, Orioles (though seriously reconsidering that), Marlins/Twins or Twins/Marlins-those would be my teams

Re: Where Will Alfonso Go?
Soriano stayed put, but Greg Maddux is going to LA...

Re: Where Will Alfonso Go?
TAFKAS, do you have every team ranked in terms of how much you like them? That's a interesting way to watch sports.
