2023 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Traded to Cincinnati
Solak (foot) was acquired by the Reds from the Rangers on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations.
ANALYSIS
Solak appeared in only 35 games for the Rangers in 2022 before he suffered a fractured right foot in September. He has a .246/.317/.354 slash line in 749 plate appearances across the past three seasons and should compete for a utility role with Cincinnati during spring training.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2017
Solak began the season as the Rangers' regular second baseman. Through May 15, he was slashing .271/.354/.458, albeit with an uncharacteristically high 24.6 K%. Solak then posted a .184/.241/.263 line over his next 51 games, prompting a demotion to Triple-A Round Rock. After recording a .252/.409/.459 slash in 26 games with the Express, Solak returned to the bigs where he finished the season .290/.367/.387 with a 14.4 K% in 35 games. By season's end, his plate skills recovered but his BABIP was well below the marks posted in his first two seasons. However, the underlying metrics point towards being lucky to begin his career with 2021 his true skill level. Especially with Texas fortifying its middle infield through free agency, Solak's future appears to be as a utility player, capable of popping a homer or stealing a bag now and again, but his bat won't play every day as a corner infielder or outfielder.
