Mets Sign Infielder Jorge Polanco to Two-Year, $40M Deal

Veteran infielder Jorge Polanco, 32, has reportedly agreed to a two-year, $40 million deal with the New York Mets, pending a physical. Polanco hit .265 with 26 home runs and 78 RBIs this year for the Seattle Mariners, his second season with the team. He was primarily a designated hitter and second baseman last year. An All-Star in 2019, Polanco had surgery in October 2024 for a left patellar tendon. His arrival addresses an infield need for the Mets following Pete Alonso's departure.
