2024 Fantasy Outlook
Solano was signed late in the spring as an extra utility option but his bat worked his way into the lineup and he became the primary first baseman for much of the season. "Donnie Barrels" is able to put the bat on the ball as he was in the 99th percentile for hitting the sweet spot on the bat and 87th percentile in xBA (both per Baseball Savant), though curiously 27th percentile in barrel percentage. While Solano can hit for average and has an above-average on-base percentage, he lacks power with just five home runs and a .112 ISO. That's not enough power to play first base for most teams, but the Twins had several injuries at the position. Solano is passable as a second baseman and can play third in a pinch, but his lack of a premium glove limits his upside. He also has little speed to help his fantasy value. He'll compete for a similar utility role this spring. Read Past Outlooks
Signs MiLB deal with San Diego
The Padres signed Solano to a minor-league contract Monday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Solano spent the 2023 season with the Twins, slashing .282/.369/.391 with five home runs and 38 RBI over 450 plate appearances. He'll report to Arizona, and the 36-year-old will look to work his way up through San Diego's minor-league system.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Working out in Florida
According the Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic, Solano is working out in Miami in hopes of signing a big-league contract.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old spent last season in Minnesota and had a .282/.369/.391 slash line in 134 games, but he was unable to secure a contract for 2024 over the winter. Solano has an above-average 112 wRC+ over the past five seasons, but there apparently isn't much interest in a high-average, low-power bat that's best suited for playing the corner infield. He seems likely to latch on somewhere at some point this season, though he may have to settle for a minor-league deal.

2013
Solano spent the 2022 campaign with the Reds after spending the three previous seasons with the Giants, and the 35-year-old slashed .284/.339/.385 with four homers and 24 RBI over 304 plate appearances. The right-handed-hitting infielder has shown the ability to hit for average with a .301 clip over the last four seasons, but he's homered just 18 times over 316 games in that timeframe while stealing just two bases. Solano should be a utility option for the Twins that sees time all over the infield, particularly against left-handed pitching, but he profiles as a one-category player for the 2023 season.
