Episode Details

The Mets surprise fans by signing Jorge Polanco to a two-year, forty million dollar deal for first base, following Pete Alonsos departure to the Orioles. Polanco, a middle infielder, transitions to first base, which requires different skills like stretching and picking throws. His early spring training performances are unremarkable, but if he struggles, he could shift to designated hitter. Polancos career stats are solid, but his 2025 breakout season showed significant improvement, batting .265 with 26 homers and top power marks. If he maintains this performance, he could deliver similar output to Alonso without the long-term commitment. The Mets gamble could pay off if Polanco performs well at first base, providing wins without breaking the bank.
