This team is gonna suuuuuuuck next year. Of course, this is the season I made plans to go to Spring Training for the first time.
I like Soria too, but not sad to see him go. I know he altogether had a good season, but I can't shake the feeling of every single time he came in with a small lead, it was immediately relinquished. And with the $/WAR value, he was worth his salary, I'm not sure how useful an expensive reliever is on a building team.
I am not particularly a fan of this deal as a whole though. I would think we could get more for Alexander alone. And I don't know why we just didn't do it that way. Soria could have been dealt as a salary dump in another deal. It seems DM got fixated on including Soria with Alexander and took whatever he could get.
