Jorge Polanco, who previously played for the Seattle Mariners, is facing difficulties after joining the New York Mets. The first baseman is currently sidelined with left Achilles tendinitis and did not start against the San Francisco Giants. His performance has been lackluster, with a batting average of .174, no home runs, and only one RBI. Polanco's injury flared up during a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, leading to his shutdown as a designated hitter. Mariners fans, who witnessed Polanco's impressive 26 home runs last season, are feeling relieved about his struggles with the Mets. The Mets had hoped Polanco would excel at first base, but he has not adapted well, posting a minus-11 in total fielding runs above average. This performance raises doubts about his transition from second base, especially given his career fielding run value of minus-29. With Polanco's ongoing injuries and poor performance, Mariners fans are likely reassured about his departure.
