Solano is in his final year of arbitration eligibility.  MLBTR projects his arbitration value $2.2-3.8 M which seems like a great deal from the Giants perspective, so I assume they will find a way to bring him back.  He's coming off his second consecutive fantastic season.  His approach depends on insane BABIP's but they don't call him "Donnie Barrels" for nothing.  At this point, Flores is more of a 1B/DH, but can move over to 2B in a pinch.  Robertson is entering his first year of arbitration eligibility and is projected to get $1.1-1.3 M.  The Giants could cut a below-market deal with him, but FZ openly wants a LH hitting utility guy who could handle both 3B and 2B.  You can't have a full L-R platoon at every position, Farhan!  Mauricio Dubon's future seems to be more in CF than 2B.

The cupboard is bare in the minors.  I believe Kean Wong and Jalen Miller are both minor league FA's who may or may not be back.  Future 2B will likely come from SS prospects who move to 2B or lower cost FA's.  If they bring back Donnie Barrels, they probably don't have to worry about minor league depth for another season.
