One day after reports of a preliminary agreement, the New York Mets have officially signed veteran infielder Jorge Polanco to a two-year, $40 million contract. The 32-year-old switch-hitter, fresh off a strong 2025 season with the Seattle Mariners, will primarily play first base and DH, addressing the gap left by Pete Alonso.
New York Mets infielder Jorge Polanco could soon land on the injured list due to ongoing soreness in his left Achilles tendon. Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed the possibility on Thursday after benching Polanco for lower-leg discomfort. The issue has persisted since the second game of the season.
