Yankees Designate Alfonso Soriano For Assignment


By Zach Links [July 6, 2014 at 11:26am CDT]


Yankees manager Joe Girardi told reporters, including Mark Feinsand of the
New York Daily News (on Twitter), that Alfonso Soriano has been designated
for assignment.  Dropping Soriano from the roster will make room for the
newly-acquired Brandon McCarthy.

MLB: New York Yankees at Kansas City Royals

Soriano has been struggling this season, batting just .221/.244/.367 with six
homers in 238 plate appearances.  Still, the news comes as a surprise given
Soriano’s lifetime body of work.  In fact, before this season, Soriano was
in the midst of a career resurgence with a .258/.312/.494 slash line between
2012 and 2013 with the Cubs and Yankees.

The 38-year-old is in the final year of the eight-year, $136MM contract that
he signed with the Cubs in November 2006.  Soriano will earn $18MM on the
year, but the Yankees are only on the hook for a portion of that with the
Cubs paying the majority of the deal.  The Cubs are paying out $13MM of
Soriano’s 2014 salary while the Bombers are responsible for just $5MM.

Soriano is sure to find plenty of suitors looking for outfield help, but it
remains to be seen how much longer he wants to keep playing.  Soriano
previously discussed retiring after the 2014 season but he also indicated
that he might want to keep going through 2016.  At the time, he said he’d
like to finish his career with the Bombers, but that doesn’t appear to be in
the cards now.

If Soriano packs it in at the end of the season, or in a couple of years from
now, he won’t be hurting for cash.  According to Baseball-Reference, Soriano
has earned nearly $158MM over the course of his big league career.  In 16
seasons for the Yankees, Rangers, Nationals, and Cubs, Soriano posted a
lifetime .270/.319/.500 slash line and earned seven consecutive All-Star
selections from 2002 through 2008.
