But after the Tyler Austin signing , it seemed like the Cubs had probably found their righty bopper – even announcing him as an infielder and an outfielder, even though he hasn’t played the latter in years – and that ...

Chris Taylor will always be remembered for his rise to postseason hero after he was famously traded from the Seattle Mariners to the Dodgers in June 2016 for pitcher Zach Lee. The move revitalized his swing and career as he became a super-utility star and multi-time World Series champion with the Dodgers. After a decade […]

With Jose A. Ferrer being dealt to the Mariners for Harry Ford, it is no secret that the Nationals need help in the back end of the bullpen. Even before the Ferrer trade, the Nats bullpen was the worst in all of baseball and needed help. Now the Nats have very few established relievers and […]

This is my case for the Seattle Mariners not to trade for Brendan Donovan. Earlier this month, Jerry Dipoto was honored with Baseball America’s 2025 Executive of the Year. It’s the first time a Mariners executive has been awarded thusly, with Pat Gillick in 2001 winning the Sporting News honor that predated BA’s version back […]

Meet the Mets The Mets signed veteran infielder Jorge Polanco to a two-year, $40 million contract yesterday. The 32-year-old switch hitter is coming off his best offensive season since 2021 and was a key player in the postseason for the Mariners, who wanted to retain him, but were outbid by the Mets. Polanco is expected […]

This evening, Katie Woo of The Athletic published an article with the headline “Mariners, Giants emerge as front-runners for Brendan Donovan trade: Sources.” Woo was the site’s Cardinals beat writer until this offseason, when she left that beat to cover the Dodgers, but she obviously still has her sources in St. Louis. That could mean […]

After signing Josh Naylor to a five-year deal to open the off-season with a splash, the Mariners made it clear their next priority was bringing back Jorge Polanco. However, the New York Mets foiled those plans today, inking Polanco to a two-year deal worth $40M. It’s a big pay raise for Polanco, who made about […]

Now that the 2025 Major League Baseball season is well behind us, and the sting from the Detroit Tigers’ final-game marathon against the Seattle Mariners has begun to subside, I thought it would be a fine idea to look back at some Tigers statistics from, as the saying goes, a “thirty-thousand-feet-up view.” Stats are from […]

The New York Mets have responded to a relative exodus of name players by adding one of the better lesser-known players from the other coast.
Infielder Jorge Polanco is headed to New York:
Jorge Polanco and the New York Mets are in agreement on a deal, league sources tell The Athletic. — Will Sammon (@WillSammon) December 13, 2025
Polanco, 32, is a switch-hitter capable of playing at any infield spot, and hit .265/.326/.495/132 wRC+ this past season with the Mariners (.263/...
