The Chicago Cubs have always been confident in Jorge Soler’s talent, it was the assimilation to life in the United States that figured to be the biggest early test.

 

With everything going well so far, the Cubs say a promotion out of the Arizona Rookie League is under consideration for the Cuba native, who made his nine-year, $30 million contract official on June 30.

 

After 5 ½ weeks of life in the U.S., the Cubs have been pleased with Soler’s progress, although with a long stretch of inactivity as he waited for his contract situation to be resolved, the right-handed hitter is still rounding into top form after workouts in Mesa, Ariz., and 13 games (50 at-bats) in the Arizona Rookie League.

 

“As far as the assimilation, and not having a ton of experience with the (high-level) Cuban players, it’s going as well as it can because of the person he is and the fact that he is very engaging,” said Jason McLeod, the Cubs senior vice president of scouting and player development. “He’s soaking up as much as he can on and off the field and is getting along with all of his teammates.”

Well this should make things better for those Chief's fans who missed Baez.
