Kansas City’s Joakim Soria Needs A New Nickname

Soria is arguably the best relief pitcher in the majors, and he’s also got one of the best nicknames: “Mexicutioner.”

↵Soria’s always been okay with his nickname ... until now. From Soria’s Twitter feed Monday:

↵↵“How about we change my nickname to something positive? In support to Mexico to stop all the violence!!!”

↵↵Usually I figure the players don’t get to decide what we call them. In this case, I think an exception is in order.

↵(Lots more about this from Bob Dutton.)
