Donovan Solano Dealing With Visa Issues
1 day agoSeattle Mariners first baseman Donovan Solano has not reported to camp due to visa issues. Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times said the team hopes Solano will report to camp by Friday. Earlier in the offseason, the Mariners signed the first baseman to a one-year contract worth $3.5 million. In addition, reports in the offseason suggested that the team will primarily deploy Solano at first base in a platoon alongside Luke Raley. Last season in San Diego, the 37-year-old posted a strong .286/.343/.417 slash line with eight home runs and two stolen bases. However, he generated a modest .307 xwOBA, suggesting he could face some regression during the 2025 campaign. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during spring training. However, given that he is expected to be on the short side of a platoon, he will only carry value in deeper AL-only formats.
