White Sox close to landing Soriano.
MLB Dynasty 
Quote:
The Chicago White Sox are close to working out a deal to acquire outfielder Alfonso Soriano from the Washington Nationals, ESPN reported Monday, citing an unnamed source close to the situation.The Nationals want pitcher Brandon McCarthy in the deal, ESPN reported.
Soriano, who is scheduled to become a free agent at the end of the season, is batting .288 with 31 homers, 62 RBIs and 25 steals.
The Nationals acquired Soriano in the offseason from the Texas Rangers and shifted him from second base to the outfield, where he has thrived.
McCarthy, a reliever, is 3-4 with a 4.11 ERA in 32 appearances.
The White Sox also bolstered their bullpen by acquiring Kansas City Royals pitcher Mike MacDougal, ESPN reported.

I saw this on espin and I don't buy it. Sounds like the Nats are trying to force Detroits hand.
Although I would love having Soriano in left and Pods roaming center.

I think the Sox are very high on McCarthy, and with Garcia and Vazquez being questionable and Contreras being about 70, I can't see them parting with a potential starter when they already have plenty of bats.

Detroit is apparently also looking at Abreu and Floyd, so I don't know that this strategy will work either.

I'd sure like to see that Soriano trade happen.
