The Texas Rangers made headlines this week by adding veteran infielder Donovan Solano on a minor league contract. While the signing bolsters depth for the club, Solano explained that his decision was about much more than just baseball opportunity.
Speaking after the announcement, Solano revealed his admiration for the Rangers’ history, culture, and fan base played a huge role in his choice.
“I’ve always respected this organization,” Solano said. “From their championship run to the way they carry themselves, the Rangers are a team with real tradition and passion. I wanted to be part of that.”
The 36-year-old emphasized that he has followed Texas closely over the years and has always been impressed with how the team connects with its fans and builds a winning mentality.
“I love the way they play, I love the energy of their ballpark, and I know this is a place where I can contribute,” he added. “For me, joining the Rangers isn’t just about the present—it’s about being part of something bigger.”
The signing comes as Texas looks to strengthen its roster depth for the final stretch of the season. Solano’s versatility in the infield and veteran presence are expected to be valuable assets.
With the Rangers pushing to remain competitive, Solano’s addition adds both experience and leadership. As he put it, “I’m here to give my best and help this team win in any way I can.”
