Mets management has responded to the need to add depth and offense to its infield with the signing of Jorge Polanco. The Dominican player, known for his ability to hit left-handed and his defensive versatility, will join the New York team after an excellent season with the Mariners.
Polanco’s signing by the Queens team will be for two seasons in exchange for $40 million dollars. Details that were revealed in a report by MLB.com and Spotrac.
This move by the Queens front office reflects the Mets’ confidence in Polanco’s ability to be an immediate and key contributor in the lineup.
The arrival of Polanco provides the Mets manager with a piece that can perform effectively at second base, shortstop and even first base, offering flexibility in the daily formation of the lineup.
Throughout his career, Polanco has proven to be a reliable hitter, with the ability to connect by both power and contact. His presence will help stabilize the middle of the Mets lineup as they look to regain their offensive potential for next season.
This signing represents a firm step by the Mets to rebuild their roster after some important departures this offseason.
