Keep peddling this bullshit. "Dayton let him walk." Yeah, all the way to his old manager and to be closer to his home, taking less money than what other teams offered.
First you think Bubba Starling can hit .238 in the majors in 2017, now you're recycling this Zobrist crap.
Quote:
The Royals had interest in re-signing Zobrist. He had interest in staying with the team.
Zobrist, however, said he couldn't resist the lure of the Cubs -- a team that hasn't won a World Series since 1908, having come up short in its past seven World Series appearances, the most recent of which was in 1945.
"The Royals were at the top of my list," Zobrist said. "I knew the atmosphere there. I fit in well. It was a great clubhouse, great guys."
But …
"This place," Zobrist said in reference to the Cubs, "is the only place that appealed to me more. If we hadn't won [last October], it would have been more of an [issue]. With the Cubs, I have an opportunity to try to win another one."

If you think Soler won't pan out, fine. It's certainly an arguable point. But argue it. Don't cloak it in BS.
