QuoteWhile multiple reports say that the Chicago Cubs' hopes of landing Cuban defector Yoenis Cespedes are fading, other reports say that they are very much in the mix for one of his countrymen.

That outfielder is Jorge Soler, who is only 19 years old -- seven years younger than Cespedes -- and considered to be a five-tool prospect. Sources told MLB.com that the Cubs would be willing to spend $27.5 million on Soler, but the sources were not sure how many years that would be spread over. Soler, who is in the Dominican Republic, has not been declared a free agent yet.

Might take a while to actually get him, but Soler would be a great signing. He'd immediately jump ahead of Jackson and Rizzo as our the Cubs' top prospect and probably top 10 in all of baseball.

Cespedes signs with A's.

DPD.

Yay?

When the winter began, there were three major Cubans who could become free agents, and the Cubs appear to have landed two of them, although not the top-rated one.

The Cubs are expected to add 19-year-old outfielder Jorge Soler after acquiring 19-year-old pitcher Gerardo Concepcion, according to multiple reports from the Dominican Republic, where Soler is staying.

Soler, according to one report, will be making $27.5 million with the Cubs for three or four years. He may have been courted by Cubs ownership and front-office officials while they were visiting their new Dominican academy earlier this month.

Because he is younger and less experienced than Cespedes, Soler was less heralded, although that did not diminish interest from many teams just because of his five-tool potential. He is 6-foot-3 and weighs just over 200 pounds.

This one is technically consistent with Internet Chuckery. He probably won't be in the majors until 2014.

To be fair, if there's been a recurrent theme this baseball offseason is that the people paid to write and opine on the subject have been so extraordinarily wrong.
This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.
