Nick Solak Elects Free Agency
Briefly

After being outrighted by the Pirates, infielder/outfielder Solak has opted for free agency, utilizing his right to reject the assignment due to a previous career outright. The 30-year-old had begun the season on a minor league contract, excelling in Triple-A with impressive stats including a .393 batting average. Despite his strong minor league performance, Solak struggled for playing time in the majors, logging just 11 plate appearances with the Pirates. He is now looking to secure another minor league deal after going unclaimed on waivers.
