You've probably never seen Jorge Soler swing a bat. You don't know if he can hit a major-league curveball, or if he swings at everything like a Wily Mo Pena without the self-control. But he's an important free agent because he's the last young international free agent who can create a bidding war. If a team is looking to spend a lot of money on its farm system, this is its last chance.

And the Dodgers appeared to be a team that would chase Soler. After spending $2 billion on the franchise, the new Dodgers owners would probably like to a) make the team better and b) make a statement. Soler might accomplish both.

But according to Tim Brown, it isn't to be:

Jorge Soler is going somewhere, but not to L.A. Dodgers are no longer engaged. Cubs, Yanks, Jays (per @JonHeymanCBS), mystery team?

The teams that are reportedly still in are the Yankees, Cubs, and Blue Jays, and Soler is expected to decide soon.
