Floyd sign by this week??

This has been rumored for a while now but it looks for sure thanks to mlbtraderumors-


I know I've used that headline at least twice before. But the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that a Cliff Floyd deal might be completed this week.
The catch was getting
Alfonso Soriano to sign off on trying center field. It appears that he's willing to try it - it was revealed to the crowd at the Cubs Convention yesterday. Soriano could shift to right field in 2008 when Felix Pie is ready.
Floyd will be the fourth outfielder for the Cubs. He'd make a solid bat off the bench. Lou Piniella seems to like
Matt Murton and he'll hopefully get 500 ABs.
Meanwhile,
the Daily Southtown reports that Jacque Jones could still be traded if the Cubs think Pie is ready to debut in right.

This move makes so much since, now that Sori will be in center like i stated yesterday it lets them sign Floyd to a deal and insure that he can spell Murton and Jones.. It even makes it possiable to trade Jones and gamble on Pie becuase if Pie doesnt work out you have Floyd to take the position in right.. This will just improve the team more.
