Twins finalize 1-year deal with vet infielder Donovan Solano

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Infielder Donovan Solano finalized a $2 million, one-year contract with the Minnesota Twins, who added another productive and versatile player to an already deep bench. He can earn an additional $250,000 in performance bonuses for plate appearances. Solano hit .284 with 16 doubles and four home runs last season in 80 games for Cincinnati. He played mostly first base. Solano spent three years with San Francisco before that. He won a Silver Slugger award for National League second basemen in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season when he batted .326 . The 35-year-old is a .278 hitter over 686 major league games.
