The Nationals announced today that they have outrighted catcher Jhonatan Solano after he cleared waivers. He rejected a minor-league assignment and elected free agency.
Solano, 33, has seen minimal major-league action over the years. That he was even on the Nats’ 40-man roster was something of an oddity: he was called up briefly early in the season but never played, then ended up on the 60-day DL owing to bone spurs in his elbow.
When the dust settled, Solano ended up sitting out the entire 2018 campaign. In his eight seasons at the Triple-A level, Solano carries a .239/.286/.331 batting line.
Soon we can outright Captain BoneSpurs!
No, I’m afraid he’s around till 2020. Unless KFC takes him first.
I hope he catches on somewhere, “the Onion” is it good guy and a testament to perseverance
Adios
