Jorge Polanco is staying in Seattle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The veteran infielder signed a one-year deal with a vesting option for 2026 with the Mariners on Thursday, according to The Post\u2019s Jon Heyman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The deal will pay Polanco $7 million for the 2025 season with a $750,000 buyout on the 2026 option, MLB.com\u2019s Mark Feinsand reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Polanco was traded to the Mariners from the Twins last January, hitting just .213\/.296\/.355 with 16 home runs across 118 games in one of the worst full seasons of his big league career.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old Dominican Republic native is expected to play third base for Seattle this season, according to the MLB.com report.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before his 2024 struggles, the switch-hitting Polanco was one of the more consistent infielders offensively in baseball over the past half-decade, hitting 99 home runs in the five seasons prior, including an All-Star appearance and a few down-ballot American League MVP votes during a career-year in 2019.<\/p>\n
Polanco underwent surgery on his left knee this offseason after dealing with persistent leg problems that limited him to 302 games over the past three seasons.<\/p>\n
Before re-upping with the Mariners, the Astros showed interest in bringing Polanco in to play hot corner, replacing two-time All-Star Alex Bregman, who is locked into a stalemate with Houston over a possible deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Mariners went 85-77 in 2024, finishing above .500 but outside the AL playoff picture for the second straight season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seattle is hoping to get more out of Polanco\u2019s bat in 2025 after he finished with the ninth-worst OPS (.687) in baseball.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seattle has made the postseason just once (2022) since 2001.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
