I'm sure this is going to bring back up the Soler trade rumors.....seriously, Teheran and Inciarte make us a better team than Soler, so in no way should we trade them for Soler....
Must be a 14 year deal because I know no team would sign him for $15M a year

prob right....but I think I'm holding onto Tehran. Soler has all kinds of tools but I'm not sold he reaches them. I'm worried he's more of what he's shown far than he is the 5 tool guy.
Inciarte is a league avg hitter with elite CF defense. The Cubs have a hole in CF. I think Inciarte is a big piece. I'd up Blair to Wisler (definitely Folty).
If I'm giving up Tehran right now I want Soler plus some more position prospects. I'm thinking blockbuster of Tehran + Mallex + Jenkins + lower level pitcher for Soler + Happ + Zagunis + Contreras + Candelario
If the Cards need a gold glove RF Markakis can be made available....
Reports are a little less than $185 million. That's a discount. Jeez. He wanted to win.
Heyward’s contract guarantees him less than $185MM and is believed to be for eight years, reports Wittenmyer

Reported to be 8 years which is right in the 23 million per year range. That's a really good deal for Heyward. If the Nats offer for 200 is to believed he gave up about 2 million a year to play for a team that looks to be really good for several years instead of going to the circus that is the Nats. Smart choice.
Inciarte and Wisler would be a huge overpay for Soler. Even Inciarte and Blair would be an overpay at this point. The longer I've thought about it, the less I like Soler. He was a replacement-level player last year. There's no way any team should allow the Cubs to get premier return for a guy who has only proven that his RF defense is atrociously bad.
The nats probably won't be better than they were this year. Lost Zimmerman, Paps, Escobar, and Desmond I think? Paps ain't gone yet but he will be.
I'd love him here.

Wrigley will be a much better venue for Heyward than the Nats stadium. If he goes there and starts clubbing 25 HRs a year then there's a good bet he could score another big payday in the future. I wonder if he'll get an opt out.
