SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — At some point, the Giants’ PR staff will have to print out a spring training roster. They should probably wait as long as possible, though.
For the fourth time in a week, the Giants are adding a veteran to the mix as they seek to fill out the bench. The club is close to a deal with infielder Yangervis Solarte, per a source.
According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, Solarte will get $1.75 million if he makes the big league club. Solarte still must pass a physical.
Solarte, a switch-hitter, was with the Blue Jays last season after four solid seasons with the San Diego Padres.
