ESPN Tabs Jorge Soler as a Breakout Candidate for 2016 Season

Jorge Soler is spending the winter working out and preparing for next season while he’s being mentioned in countless trade rumors over the last two-plus months.

Jorge Soler did not perform to expectations last year at the plate or in the field. But he still finished the regular season with a .262/.324/.399 line with 18 doubles, a triple and 10 home runs for a .723 OPS. Soler had a couple of stints on the disabled list and still played in a career-high 101 games.

Theo Epstein said Soler was not happy about his lack of playing time when he returned from the disabled list in mid-September.
