Jorge Polanco, signed by the New York Mets for $40 million, has had a disappointing season. His contract, initially envisioned as a solution for first base, has not panned out as he has spent limited time at the position due to injuries, managing just 25 games and a.149 batting average. The Seattle Mariners are mentioned as a potential trade partner, hoping Polanco can recapture his previous form, particularly against left-handed pitching. However, concerns about his contract and recent performance may complicate any deal.

- •He signed with the Mets for a two-year, $40 million deal.
- •Injuries limited him to 20 innings at first base this season.
