[Geovany] Soto was almost traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates last season and could be moved this...

posted by Vlad, Feb 15, 2012

[Geovany] Soto was almost traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates last season and could be moved this summer if the other catchers step up.

— Bruce Levine, "Cubs spring preview: Catchers", ESPN.com, 2/15/12. We knew that the Pirates had made inquiries about Soto, but this is the first report I've seen indicating that a deal was ever close. I wonder what the Cubs would have received?
