Nick Solak was acquired by the Texas Rangers from the Tampa Bay Rays 29 days ago, coming over in a deal that sent out-of-nowhere relief pitcher Peter Fairbanks to Tampa. It was a prospect-for-prospect deal where each team dealt from an area of surplus (Texas has lots of hard-throwing righty relief prospects, Tampa a lot of infielders), the type of deal folks spitball about all the time but that rarely seem to actually occur.
The book on Solak when he was acquired was that he was an 80-grade makeup guy who could hit and who had no defensive position.
