After efforts to deal Alfonso Soriano never materialized before Tuesday's trade deadline, Chicago Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said there is still a chance the outfielder will be moved through the waiver process this month. "I suppose there is a chance in August, but he handled things so well," Hoyer said Wednesday on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "He was great with us. He's having a great year, some teams were interested. He told us to bring some teams to him if there was a possibility. We did that well in advance. He told us certain places that he was interested in, certain places he wasn't. I thought the way he handled it was really great." Soriano, 36, is still owed $44 million and is under contract for two seasons after this one, complicating a trade. After the July 31 trade deadline, players must clear waivers before being traded. Soriano's large contract means he would almost certainly clear waivers and could be traded. If he is dealt before Aug. 31, he will be eligible for postseason play.
