Obligatory Jorge Soler post. No, but seriously, the Kansas City Royals have never had a player that led the American League in home runs but that all could very soon change. Soler has put up an impressive season thus far and with just two weeks remaining, he’ll likely just need to hit a couple of home runs to take over the lead for the home run title.
His counterpart, Mike Trout, was declared out for the season after requiring season-ending foot surgery. Apparently, Trout has a condition called Morton’s neuroma where the tissues around the nerves in his foot begin to thicken.
