The Blue Jays have acquired infielder Yangervis Solarte from the Padres in
exchange for two prospects – outfielder Edward Olivares and reliever Jared
Carkuff – per announcements from both teams.

The 30-year-old Solarte is the second infielder the Blue Jays have landed via
trade this winter, joining Aledmys Diaz, whom they acquired from the
Cardinals last month. The area was a clear point of emphasis for Jays
entering the offseason, given that neither second baseman Devon Travis nor
shortstop Troy Tulowitzki have been able to stay consistently healthy during
their careers. Solarte may end up as a multiyear piece for Toronto, as he’ll
make an affordable $4MM in 2018 before the club will have to decide on
options totaling $13.5MM over the next two offseasons.

Solarte brings experience at all four infield positions, with the majority of
his work having come at third base. He’s unlikely to see much action there
next season, however, unless the Jays trade superstar Josh Donaldson between
now and the summer or Donaldson misses time with injuries. Solarte spent the
majority of last year at second base, where he has posted minus-3 Defensive
Runs Saved and a minus-1.1 Ultimate Zone Rating across just over 1,000 career
innings, and that figures to be his primary position in 2018.

The switch-hitting Solarte is known mostly for his bat, having slashed a
respectable .267/.327/.419 over 2,061 plate appearances since debuting with
the Yankees in 2014. Solarte experienced a drop-off in production last year,
though, as both his .255/.314/.416 line and .161 ISO underwhelmed. However,
he did strike out in just 11.9 percent of PAs (in line with his career rate
of 11.5) and belt a personal-high 18 home runs.

This trade brings an end to a decent tenure in San Diego for Solarte, whom
the Padres acquired from the Yankees for third baseman Chase Headley in 2014.
Solarte had been an oft-speculated trade piece over the past couple years,
and with Headley having returned to the team in a deal with the Yankees this
winter and shortstop Freddy Galvis also now in the mix after a swap with the
Phillies, the Padres had a glut of infielders. As a result, they’d been
shopping Solarte, whose exit leaves the Pads with Headley, Carlos Asuaje,
Cory Spangenberg and Christian Villanueva among their current third/second
base options (though Headley may be on his way out soon).

In Olivares, the Padres are getting a soon-to-be 22-year-old whom MLB.com
ranked as the Blue Jays’ 18th-best prospect. The outlet notes that Olivares,
a Venezuelan who signed with the Jays as an international free agent in 2014,
“began to tap into his above-average raw power” last season, when he batted
.277/.330/.500 with 17 homers in 464 Single-A plate trips, and has further
potential on that front. He also possesses “well above-average speed” and
the ability to play all three outfield positions. That skillset could make
Olivares a major league regular down the line, per MLB.com.

Carkuff, 24, did not rank among Toronto’s top 30 prospects at MLB.com. The
right-hander, a 35th-round pick in 2016, is coming off a year in which he
pitched to a 3.86 ERA and recorded 7.3 K/9 against 2.1 BB/9 in 63 innings
divided among the Single-A, High-A and Triple-A levels.
