Donovan Solano - Page 7 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Signing Donovan Solano will create domino effect with Twins roster The utility infielder will get a major league deal, and that means someone eventually will be forced off the roster.

FEBRUARY 23, 2023 • STARTRIBUNE.COM

Why the Twins plan to add veteran infielder Donovan Solano to an already crowded roster Solano has hit .301 over the past four seasons and can play all four infield spots, but who will he bump from the Opening Day roster?

FEBRUARY 22, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Signs one-year deal with Minnesota Solano agreed to a one-year deal on Tuesday with Minnesota, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Solano spent the 2022 campaign with the Reds after spending the three previous seasons with the Giants, and the 35-year-old slashed .284/.339/.385 with four homers and 24 RBI over 304 plate appearances. The right-handed-hitting infielder has shown the ability to hit for average with a .301 clip over the last four seasons, but he's homered just 18 times over 316 games in that timeframe while stealing just two bases. Solano should be a utility option for the Twins that sees time all over the infield, particularly against left-handed pitching, but he profiles as a one-category player for the 2023 season.
