“Solano did boast a .309/.380/.568 slash line against southpaws last year”

No he didn’t. Try .301/.348/.422 (.770 OPS)…career .711 OPS against lefties. There’s no way this guy was brought on to be insurance at 1B or DH.

For context, both Christian Vazquez and Ryan Jeffers have better 2022 and career numbers against lefties than does Solano. “Donny Bats” has to be something his agent came up with. I just have a hard time believing this is the guy you sign if your objective is to ‘bolster’ the lineup against southpaws.

I only understand it in the context of Polanco isn’t right, Gordon is being traded and/or Lewis’s 2023 is at serious risk.

My guess is that either Polanco, Kiriloff, or both may not be ready to go on opening day. This is an insurance policy.

This FO and coaching staff has never been high on Gordon.  I do not agree this is taking Gordon playing time though.  He is mainly coming in to hit against lefties and play 1B.  He will play 1B agains
