Jorge Polanco reportedly agrees to 2-year, $40 million deal with Mets

Jorge Polanco is heading across the country after he reportedly agreed to a two-year, $40 million deal with the New York Mets, according to multiple reports. The Mets plan to use Polanco mainly at first base and designated hitter.

Polanco has spent the last two seasons with the Seattle Mariners, after 10 seasons in Minnesota. During the Mariners’ run to the AL Championship Series, Polanco slashed .265/.326/.495 with 26 home runs and 78 RBI.

Polanco’s signing comes on the heels of a rough week for the Mets, having lost Pete Alonso to Baltimore and Edwin Diaz to the Dodgers.
