Infielder Donovan Solano and the Seattle Mariners have finalized a $3.5 million, one-year contract. Solano can earn an additional $1 million in performance bonuses for plate appearances.

After an offseason of near-complete inactivity, the Seattle Mariners finally made a move on Monday, inking veteran infielder Donovan Solano to a one-year deal.

It had been a quiet offseason for the Mariners. That was until recently when they claimed a pair of relief pitchers off waivers. Now, the M’s have signed their first player of the 2024-25 offseason.

The Mariners and infielder Donovan Solano have finalized a $3.5 million, one-year contract. The 37-year-old hit .286 with eight homers and 35 RBIs in 96 games with the Padres last year.

The Seattle Mariners entered the offseason with needs at first, second and third base. And as of the morning of Jan. 13, the team had yet to address any of those concerns. But at 1:30 p.m. PT, the Mariners announced via a post on "X" (formerly known as Twitter) that the team had come to a one-year agreement with infielder Donovan Solano.

On Monday, the Seattle Mariners signed Donovan Solano to a one-year, $3.5 million contract. He can earn an additional $1 million in performance incentives.
