ESPN's MLB insider Jeff Passan provided some details on what the future of Jorge Polanco could be.
The MLB offseason is less than several weeks in, but there's been more and more smoke surrounding several teams, free agents and trade targets.
The most interesting storylines of the offseason will be which team wins out in the sweepstakes for superstar Juan Soto and Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki, respectively. The Seattle Mariners are rumored to be preparing a pitch for the latter. The Mariners have also been tied to other players such as Hye-Seong Kim, Christian Walker, Yoan Moncada, Brandon Lowe and Yandy Diaz, among others.
Seattle declined Jorge Polanco's $12 million club option the first week of the offseason. Polanco, an All-Star in 2019, was acquired by the Mariners on Jan. 29 in a trade with the Minnesota Twins. Polanco dealt with an injury-plagued 2024 season. He underwent surgery after the regular season to repair a damaged patellar tendon. The switch-hitting infielder batted .213 with 16 home runs and 45 RBIs. He played 118 games and had two stints on the injured list.
Polanco still has value as an ambidextrous batter with 20-home run power. He has a market value of four years, $54.7 million according to. If the 31 year-old bounces back in 2025, he could possibly find himself earning one more multi-year deal before the end of his career.The Seattle Mariners will make an attempt to sign Chiba Lotte Marines pitcher Roki Sasaki when he is posted for free agency.
