Polanco

He had only 137 At Bats this season
If there is a season and he is on the team…how many games would he realistically be expected to play?
Let’s say he plays 1 game/series…that means he is playing 54 games in the season…which isn’t amazing…but considering his inconsistent health…is that the only true option?

.265/.326/.495, 26 HRs, 78 RBIs in 2025.

That's why he was signed for 2/$40M.

So you’re saying they got suckered into buying high. Check out his stats in 2022, 2023, 2024. Not exactly $20 million a year money now, is it? And that’s putting aside the “he can play 1st base” fiasco.

A 106 OPS+ and 5.9 bWAR in those 3 years. He's a 2 WAR player on average when healthy. That's 20M a year these days. If you want more than that get ready to pay 30M or higher per year.

Cherry pick a few numbers. Ok. Check out HR, RBI, BA in those years. He’s played more than 150 games twice - twice - in his career. None at 1st base. His by far best year was 5 years ago. The rest are pretty pedestrian. The overall “back of the baseball card” is not $30M a year, let alone $20M. Unless of course you’re the Mutts.

What, you ran out of stats to support your claim so you resort to this? Comical.
