The Seattle Mariners could be the perfect landing spot for All-Star slugger Alec Bohm after Jorge Polanco bolted in free agency.

In a move that helps address a huge hole at first base, the New York Mets and infielder Jorge Polanco agreed Saturday to a two-year deal worth $40 million, league sources told The Athletic.

The Seattle Mariners have been quiet since re-signing Josh Naylor this offseason. They didn’t make any moves at the Winter Meetings, but that doesn’t mean that

The Mets have outbid the Mariners for free agent Jorge Polanco, who has agreed to a two-year, $40-million deal to leave for New York, sources told the Times early Saturday. Seattle was Polanco’s No. 1 choice and he was “very torn” on the decision, but ultimately chose the best deal.

Overall last season, Polanco spent the bulk of his time at DH, adding 39 games at second, a handful at third and his emergency appearance at first. But with Alonso, who played 160 games at first last season, now in Baltimore, the Mets will currently need Polanco to spend plenty of time at the position.

The Red Sox kept tabs on free agent infielder Jorge Polanco before he agreed to terms with the Mets on Saturday. That pursuit wasn’t a particularly serious one, though.

First and foremost, congratulations to Dick van Dyke who is celebrating his 100th birthday today! Even Jamie Moyer seems young by comparison. While the former Andy Griffith headlines the main news, the odd signing of Jorge Polanco by the Mets is the biggest story in today’s baseball newsroom.
