Cubs sign Jon Jay to a one year deal.
I don't know how to feel about it.
Two reactions:
1) As expected, Dexter Fowler's time with the Cubs has come to an end.
2) There is still quite the OF glut. Heyward, Schwarber, Sczcur, Zobrist, Almora Jr., Jay. I'd expect someone (likely Soler) to be dealt.

Pretty much one of Soler, Sczcur or Almora have to be traded. Two of those three if Fowler is re-signed and I'm not 100% sure that won't happen.
I think the Cubs would like to move Soler or Almora as part of a package to get a starting pitcher. If that doesn't work, it could be as a smaller package to get relief help. The Royals seem like a nice trade partner there. They have a lot of intriguing relievers, Almora seems like their kind of player, and Lorenzo Cain is heading to free agency after 2017.
I like Jay as a 4th outfielder. He doesn't slug for anything, but a .290 average and .350 OBP would be a nice performance from him. He's an average CF and a plus defender in the corners.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Cubs take a flier on Tyson Ross. Low risk, high reward type of signing, assuming he can overcome his shoulder issue (which are harder to overcome than elbows).
Wade Davis to Cubs for Soler. I like it.

Me too. I'm a big Wade Davis fan.
It's going to really suck if Dex goes to the Cardinals.

I do too. Hopefully they can extend Davis.
Losing Soler feels a lot like when they dealt Castro in terms of my liking of the person. Wishing Soler nothing but the best.
