Transaction Analysis
Cubs Deal Soto, Maholm UPDATED AGAIN
by Colin Wyers and Kevin Goldstein
| American League | National League |
Acquired C-R Geovany Soto from the Chicago Cubs for RHP Jacob Brigham. [7/30]
The Rangers had the luxury of not having to make any deals, and they now have the luxury of taking the time to figure out how playing time will shake out with Geovany Soto in house. Yorvit Torrealba has been designated for assignment, so it’s pretty clear whose roster spot he’ll be taking, but Napoli has been handling the bulk of the duties at catcher for the Rangers so far. It’s possible that Soto will take an (expanded) backup role in Texas, catching when Napoli has a day off or is filling in at first or DH. Or Soto could take over the majority of catching, freeing Napoli to play other positions more often. If it’s the latter, the obvious choice would be to bench Michael Young; the sound you just heard was millions of sportswriters crying out in terror.

KG: reports have Arodys Vizcaino going to the Cubs. If that is true, is my current excitement warranted? Because I'm *really* excited!
