SURPRISE, Ariz. – One month ago at Cubs Convention, Cubs vice president of player development and amateur scouting Jason McLeod told fans that former Cubs outfielder Jorge Soler had been benched multiple times last season due to a lack of hustle.
According to CSNChicago’s Tony Andracki:
“Coaches get on guys all the time. There are a few times throughout the year where a player will get pulled out of the game,” McLeod said. “This is not trying to harp on 'Georgie' at all, but he got yanked a couple of times last year for not hustling out to the outfield, for not running down the line.
