River Ave. Blues ยป Castillo: Solarte can opt-out if he doesn’t make Opening Day roster

Castillo: Solarte can opt-out if he doesn’t make Opening Day roster

Spring Training Game Thread: Finale
Yangervis Solarte beats out Eduardo Nunez as Yankees finalize bench

Via Jorge Castillo: If he does not make the Opening Day roster, Spring Training standout Yangervis Solarte can opt-out of his minor league contract for a spot on another team’s 25-man roster. Chad Jennings says he has shown a willingness to go to Triple-A, for what it’s worth.

Solarte, 26, is a candidate for the final bench spot along with Eduardo Nunez. He hit .429/.489/.571 with two homers in 47 plate appearances this spring, and while it’s always possible something has clicked, there is nothing in his track record suggesting he’ll hit much during the regular season. Solarte is versatile though, regularly playing the three non-first base infield positions as well as left field. The deadline to set the Opening Day roster is 3pm ET tomorrow.
