The Pittsburgh Pirates are reportedly eyeing infielder Jorge Polanco, a move that could significantly enhance their offense. Polanco, who played for the Seattle Mariners in 2025, boasts a solid batting average of .265, with 26 home runs and 78 RBIs. This potential acquisition comes as the Pirates seek to add more offensive firepower.Polanco, a 32-year-old veteran with 12 seasons in the majors, primarily served as a designated hitter last season but also has experience at second base. He made the All-Star team in 2019 and had a career-high 33 home runs in 2021. Despite a slight dip in performance in 2024, his overall track record suggests he could be a valuable addition.The Pirates could sign Polanco to a three-year deal, potentially costing around $15 million annually. This would be a manageable investment for the Pirates, who are under pressure to improve their team. Adding Polanco, along with other strategic signings, could signal a turning point for the Pirates, demonstrating a commitment to building a more competitive team.
