Yesterday, there were rumblings that the Giants had interest in utility infielder Yangervis Solarte. The Giants have been interested in lots of utility players this offseason, so I didn’t think much of it and thought it better to wait until something happen. Here we are less than 24 hours later and the Giants have signed Solarte to a minor league deal.
Per Jon Heyman, his base salary would be $1.75 million were he to make the big league club, with another $250,000 in incentives. MLB Trade Rumors had a really detailed examination of his performance, to the point that it seems unnecessary and foolhardy for me to try to replicate it in any way.
