Soler defected from his home country last year and became an MLB free agent on June 2nd after being unblocked by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. Since then, he has been one of the hottest names on the market for a multitude of teams around baseball. The New York Yankees also submitted a bid, but Soler apparently liked what the Cubs had to offer a little bit more. CBS Sports' Jon Heyman elaborates:
