This week, Bruce Levine of ESPNChicago.com reported that the Cubs, Yankees, White Sox and Marlins were expected to be the highest bidders for Soler. It’s since been reported that the Marlins are no longer in the running.

Industry sources told Levine earlier this week that the bidding for Soler "will go somewhere between $25 and $35 million. Soon after Soler officially became a free agent, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reported Soler’s agent has told teams he already had offers on the table for $25 million.
