The sad thing is, a few years back before the Cubs had resigned Sosa, when they were talking about trading him the Yankees made the Cubs a 4 player offer that included Soriano and Ramiro Mendoza among the players.
And I was about the only person saying they should of made that trade.
They were offerings Soriano, Rivera, Mendoza and one guy who turned out to be a bust, forget who it was. Jackson Melian, thats it.
Yeah you aren't alone. If you go back and look at lots of those superstar for the farm system trades after 5 years or so, it is amazing how slanted some of them turn out. The Randy Johnson deal to Houston from Seattle was insane.
