You could conceivably make the argument that no Texas Rangers player has had more on the line coming into the 2021 season than second baseman Nick Solak.
Acquired by the Rangers from Tampa Bay in 2019 in exchange for reliever Pete Fairbanks, Solak has spent time at second base and in the outfield, providing (mostly) excellent bat-to-ball skills during his tenure in Arlington.
