Minnesota Twins fans react to team adding veteran slugger Donovan Solano on 1-year deal: "I’m getting excited about the Twins" "Twins strike again"

The Minnesota Twins have reportedly agreed to terms with MLB veteran Donovan Solano. Solano will be entering his 10th season in the major leagues and has proven to be a consistent offensive force. He is a versatile infielder, capable of playing second base, third base or shortstop. His experience and offensive output could be great assets for the Twins.In 2022 Solano hit for a batting average of .284, though he only played in 80 games. This is yet another strong move made by the Twins, who are looking to compete for the American League Central in 2023. It will not be an easy task, but they are taking steps in the right direction.Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic was the first to report the signing via Twitter.Ken Rosenthal@Ken_RosenthalTwins in agreement with free-agent infielder Donovan Solano on a one-year, major-league contract, pending physical, a source tells @TheAthletic.41279Twins in agreement with free-agent infielder Donovan Solano on a one-year, major-league contract, pending physical, a source tells @TheAthletic.The Minnesota Twins know they have a limited amount of time to build around Carlos Correa, and they are capitalizing on it. Solano is an excellent depth player who could prove to be invaluable if injuries arise. As the Twins chase the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago White Sox, injuries could significantly hamper their chances.Cooper Lund@cooperlundI’m getting excited about the Twins and it makes me kind of upset?

While that season is very likely impossible to repeat, it does show what he can bring to the table. If he can approach those heights that he hit in years past, this signing becomes all the more brilliant.Hoodie Maybin@HoodieMaybin@Ken_Rosenthal @TheAthletic And that’s how this game gets underway1@Ken_Rosenthal @TheAthletic And that’s how this game gets underwayChristopher Crawford@Crawford_MILBHow, uhh, how many utility infielders does a team need? twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/…Ken Rosenthal@Ken_RosenthalTwins in agreement with free-agent infielder Donovan Solano on a one-year, major-league contract, pending physical, a source tells @TheAthletic.380Twins in agreement with free-agent infielder Donovan Solano on a one-year, major-league contract, pending physical, a source tells @TheAthletic.How, uhh, how many utility infielders does a team need? twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/…Ed Hand@EdHand89Rank: #71Blurb: Chronically underrated infielder slashed .284/.339/.385 over 304 PA for the Reds playing mostly first base but also second and third base.

The Guardians have proven to be a great team that can hold up against any in the MLB. Even with their star power, the Twins have finished below .500 in each of the last two seasons.Their growth has been slow and steady, and could finally begin to pay off in 2023 for the Twins.
