The #2 deal

Big League Stew rates Tampa's pick up of Rafael Soriano ('00) as the #2 deal of the Winter Meetings.
Rays' general manager Andrew Friedman turned depth at second base — Akinori Iwamura(notes) — into [Jesse] Chavez, who came from the Pirates. Friedman settles his team's closer issue with Soriano, who was one of the best in the majors last season. Atlanta gets something for Soriano, a player they weren't expecting back but surprised them by accepting arbitration.
He also rates the two moves by the Brewers at #6 & #7.
