Donovan Solano is a decent player. He was the perfect utility piece for the San Francisco Giants just last year, serving as a do-it-all infielder on a club that needed that alongside Brandon Crawford and Brandon Belt en route to a brilliant, 107 win regular season.
He’s the kind of piece that complements everything about a club that’s built to win games. So, naturally that’s who the Cincinnati Reds have signed to a $4.5 million deal, as relayed by Jon Heyman of MLB Network.
You purge Jesse Winker, Sonny Gray, Wade Miley, Eugenio Suarez, and Tucker Barnhart, and backfill with a $4.
