VIDEO: Jorge Soler Becomes 1st Royals Player to Ever Hit 40 Homers in a Season
By Daniel Marcillo
George Brett? No. Mike Sweeney? No. Not even Mike Moustakas? No as well. The only Kansas City Royal to hit 40 home runs is now Jorge Soler. In the year of the home run, Soler continues to make the Royals record larger as he blasted one over the left field bullpen.
Soler has put together the best year of his career with 40 home runs and reaching triple digits in RBIs for the first time. He did not have a true role as a member of the Chicago Cubs, but he has found a new home in Kansas City.
