The Seattle Mariners are grappling with a significant decision regarding free agent infielder Jorge Polanco. Polanco is seeking a substantial four-year contract, potentially worth twelve million dollars per year, which the Mariners are hesitant to commit. Despite Polancos strong offensive performance in 2025, his defensive play has declined and his previous seasons were less productive. The Mariners are interested in retaining him, but only if the contract is affordable, as the proposed deal may be too expensive if his performance doesnt consistently improve.

The Seattle Mariners are actively reshaping their roster this offseason, starting with a five-year, $92.5 million contract for first baseman Josh Naylor. Theyve also added left-handed reliever Jose Ferrer, trading away top prospect Harry Ford. Despite these moves, the Mariners still need to fill spots at second base and third base, and add more bullpen depth. Reports suggest a decision on the second base position could be made soon, with Jorge Polanco, a veteran second baseman, being a strong candidate for return.

Dipoto confirmed Polanco would be a good fit, but the teams self-imposed limitations and Polancos high asking price may hinder a reunion. The Mariners are exploring other options to strengthen their lineup.
