The San Diego Padres lost a versatile free agent to the American League West when the Seattle Mariners announced the signing of Donovan Solano on Monday.
Solano and the Mariners reportedly agreed to a one-year contract worth $3.5 million this year with $1 million available in performance bonuses, according to FanSided's Robert Murray.
Seattle designated left-hander Austin Kitchen for assignment in a corresponding move to open a spot on the 40-man roster.
