Donovan Solano Inks One-Year Deal With Seattle
According to the team, the Seattle Mariners have signed free agent infielder Donovan Solano to a one-year contract worth $3.5 million. The 37-year-old spent the entire 2024 campaign with the San Diego Padres and posted a solid .286/.343/.417 line. He hit eight home runs, 13 doubles, swiped two bags, and held a 22:65 BB:K ratio. Under the hood, he generated a .307 xwOBA and 37.4% hard-hit rate, suggesting he could be due for some regression in 2025. Solano performed very well against southpaws last season, posting a .302 AVG and .443 SLG, which was much higher than the .277 AVG and .403 SLG he posted against right-handed pitching. During the 2023 season, the 11-year MLB veteran posted a similar .282/.369/.391 line with five long balls. Fantasy managers should expect Solano to compete for an everyday role in the Seattle infield.
