KANSAS CITY -- The Royals' trio of Travis Wood, Jason Hammel and Jorge Soler is getting set for a short, but special, road trip.
The logistics came together neatly so that Wood, Hammel and Soler -- members of the 2016 World Series champion Chicago Cubs -- will be able to return to Wrigley Field on Monday night to accept their championship rings in front of the fans who celebrated the end of a 108-year title drought last fall.
With the Royals off Monday, an opportunity was provided for Wood, Hammel and Soler to make it to Wrigley, where the Cubs will play the Brewers at 7:05 CT.
