According to Jon Heyman of
CBS Sports,
the Yankees have acquired outfielder (and former Pinstriped Poser) Alfonso Soriano from the Cubs for prospects. The deal only needs approval from the Commissioner's office. Soriano is hitting .254 this year with 17 home runs in 93 games for the Cubs. Since June 28th, Soriano has more home runs than the entire Yankee team.
Reports suggest that Chicago will pick up about $17.7M of the $24.5M left on Soriano's contract.
