Joakim Soria kindly asks you not to call him ‘The Mexicutioner’ anymore

Royals fans, Joakim Soria has a favor to ask you: Stop calling him “The Mexicutioner.”

The 26-year-old closer (and native of Mexico) asked his Twitter followers to come up with a new nickname. “How about if we change my nickname to something positive?” he asked. “In support to Mexico to stop all the violence!!!”

Soria is clearly referring to the rise in drug and gang violence in Mexico. (In 2010, 15,000 people were murdered in drug-related violence.) And while the nickname is admittedly pretty cool, it’s time for a change.
