Nov. 19 -- SORIANO TO CUBS

OK, so I was wrong. Alfonso Soriano didn't waste any time making up his mind (or at least having it made up for him by his agents). Pending a physical, Soriano will sign with the Cubs for, get this, EIGHT years and $136 million.

Eight years!

The Cubs have considered playing Soriano in center field instead of re-signing Juan Pierre. When Soriano was with the Yankees, there was always talk that he'd one day replace Bernie Williams as the center fielder in the Bronx.
