Jorge Soler Drawing Interest From Handful Of Teams
11 months agoFree-agent outfielder Jorge Soler is drawing interest from the Seattle Mariners, Arizona Diamondbacks, Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox, according to sources. He had some trouble staying healthy early in his career, playing more than 100 games just once from 2015-18. But since 2019, he's played at least 137 games in three of four full seasons and has averaged more than 30 home runs a season in that span, excluding 2020. Soler hit 36 long balls for the Miami Marlins in 2023 and led the American League in bombs with 48 in 2019. The 31-year-old is the best pure power bat on the open market this winter and he's also had a double-digit walk rate in each of his last eight seasons. The veteran right-handed slugger is more appealing to teams looking to sign a power bat for multiple years.
