Cubs sign Edwin Jackson

[ofahn]

The Rays could be a fit but I think the Rays will:
1. re-sign Luke Scott to be their everyday DH
2. hand Brandon Guyer their everyday CF job, at least until Myers come up

If the Rays need Soriano to play in the field on a regular basis it will only be because a disaster of Biblical proportions befell them. He would be their DH.

I REALLY doubt that Tampa will trust their season to Luke Scott again. He'll be lucky to find a team willing to offer him a minor league deal.

He would come really cheap and I don't think his shoulder was fully healthy last year. I only mentioned Guyer would play in center because Guyer could be their DH

With the loss of Upton, Pena, Scott, and Shields the Rays HAVE some money to spend this winter so cheap isn't as important for them as it has been. IMO they have too good a team to risk their need for production at DH on Luke Scott when they can afford better.

A healthy Luke Scott > A healthy Alfonso Soriano
Cheaper > More expensive.
If Luke Scott is deemed healthy, I can legitimately see the Rays signing him.

I honestly doubt it.

I'd say it is more of a possibility than trading for Alfonso Soriano. Merry Christmas!

I'll bet a you a good deed (you - cut someone's yard or help an elderly person, etc; me - a donation to Make A Wish) that Soriano is Tampa's DH instead of Scott. If we're both wrong we both do the good deed. Fair enough?

Merry Christmas to you too.

The Rays just re-signed Luke Scott.

Saw that too, BUT let's wait until we see the 25 man roster on opening day.
