Mariners strike trade with Twins for All-Star second baseman: reports

The Seattle Mariners have reached a trade with the Minnesota Twins for All-Star second baseman Jorge Polanco, according to multiple reports on Monday.

The Mariners are exchanging right-handers Anthony DeSclafani and Justin Topa, as well as prospect outfielder Gabriel Gonzalez and right-hander Darren Bowen, for Polanco, ESPN reported. 

Polanco will fit right into a Mariners infield that also sports Ty France and J.P. Crawford, while providing a switch-hitter in a lineup that can use more All-Star talent in hopes of competing in a tough AL West.

Still, Polanco brings a sturdy glove and underrated pop to the Mariners as long as he stays healthy. The last season he was came in 2021, when he set a career high with 33 homers and 98 RBI over 152 games.
