Salazar for Soler....Damn, that deal makes a frustrating amount of sense for both sides.
I like Salazar a ton and if he ends up in Chicago, they'll iron out the rough edges on that slider of his. His fastball/changeup combination is as good as there is in baseball, he just needs one more consistent weapon to be a borderline CY candidate, IMO.
The Cubs are spinning straw into gold with some regularity in their pitching staff. If they could get their hands on Salazar, he'd be a pretty obvious counter for Martinez. Suddenly the Cubs would have an edge at 1-5 in the rotation (though Garcia vs. Hammel at 4 I'd probably edge Cards when Garcia is healthy...he's just never healthy) and pretty much every spot on the diamond.
