How many players in mlb would be worth this contract?

Overpaying Soriano > doing nothing.

The Cubs have the money.

8 years is really silly, but yes I agree at least the Cubs are trying.

I'd give this to Pujols. Not sure there's anyone else though. Maybe Miggy?

Major League Baseball teams have lots of money to spend these days. Revenues are going up faster than salaries.

Soriano's contract, like the Red Sox bid for Matsuzaka, is a sign of things to come in the next few years.

I don't know much about baseball contracts. But can the Cubs just cut him at any point if they feel like it?
