Elects free agency
Solak elected to become a free agent Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
He cleared waivers after being removed from the Pirates' 40-man roster but has exercised his right to free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. It's possible Solak re-signs with Pittsburgh on a restructured minor-league deal, but he'll have the opportunity to field offers elsewhere.

This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2017
Solak broke camp as a reserve but spent most of the year bouncing between Triple-A Round Rock and Arlington. Seemingly, he was called up for good when rosters expanded, but his season was cut short in mid-September with a fractured foot. Solak has yet to recapture the promise displayed in his rookie season. He has 85th percentile sprint speed but does not get on base enough to take advantage. The Reds acquired Solak, reportedly to vie for a utility role, but there are openings in Cincinnati's infield and outfield. It requires squinting through very strong prescription glasses, but there is some reason to hold out hope. Solak's strikeout rate is a tick better than the league average and he's exhibited a bit of pop in the minors. The Great American Ballpark is a great hitting venue, but Solak still needs to put the ball with more authority. There is NL-only temptation, but it's best to resist it.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Chance to join roster?
Solak has a locker in the Pirates clubhouse ahead of Friday's game at Philadelphia, reports Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear if Solak is up as a member of the taxi squad or if he's being added to the big-league roster, but he may have a chance to see his first MLB action since 2022. The 30-year-old signed a minor-league deal with the Pirates in December and has a .389/.449/.619 slash line with six homers and four steals through 32 games with Triple-A Indianapolis this season.
