National League wild-card leader Atlanta is reuniting with 2021 World Series MVP Jorge Soler and Luke Jackson, a reliever for that championship team. The Braves acquired Soler and Jackson in a trade with San Francisco late Monday night. Atlanta sent left-handed reliever Tyler Matzek and minor league infielder Sabin Ceballos to the Giants.
San Francisco Giants designated hitter Jorge Soler scores sliding to home plate against Colorado Rockies catcher Elias Díaz after a triple by the Giants’ Mike Yastrzemski in the first inning during the second baseball game of a doubleheader in San Francisco, Saturday, July 27, 2024.
Soler, who was also part of the 2016 World Series title team with the Chicago Cubs, hit .240 with 12 homers and 40 RBIs in 93 games for the Giants this season. The 32-year-old Cuban was an All-Star with Miami last year. After Atlanta got Soler from Kansas City at the trade deadline in 2021, he hit .269 with 14 homers and 33 RBIs in 55 games the rest of the regular season.
Soler hit three home runs in the World Series against the Astros, and all were significant. He became the first player ever to go deep leading off Game 1 of a World Series, and had the go-ahead homer in Game 4. The deciding Game 6 was scoreless when SolerPinch-hitter Corbin Carroll hits game-winning 2-run HR in 9th, D-backs rally to stun Nationals 9-8Bobby Witt Jr.
