At any rate, regardless of how Soto lost the weight, he needs to re-lose it. Some people can actually lose weight without roiding up, and I would think that an MLB player would have access to more assistance in that regard than Joe & Jane Schmo. It's fine to be an overweight player when you're successful; when you're not, expect your weight to be an issue. If it's a nagging injury, DL him and rehab it.
