Alfonso Soriano's tenure with the Chicago Cubs is over.
Chicago traded Soriano to the New York Yankees on Friday morning. He signed a $136 million deal with the Cubs prior to the 2007 season.
Soriano admitted that he felt he was leaving money on the table to be part of something special in Chicago. There was at least one team that told his agent to let it beat any other offer before letting Soriano sign.
"I said, no, I just want to sign with Chicago because I want to be a champion in Chicago," he said.
