Royals outfielder Jorge Soler’s offseason recipe for success included rest, rehab and a return to Cuba.
The the 6-foot-4, 230-pound native of Havana, Soler spoke with reporters on Thursday for the first time since arriving at Royals spring training in Arizona.
Soler is heading into his third season with the Royals. He broke into the majors with the Chicago Cubs in 2014 and was part of the Cubs’ World Series championship run in 2016.
Soler is coming off a season that ended with him on the 60-day disabled list due to a toe fracture in his left foot — his season cut short after playing in 61 games.
