It's unclear how much money Seattle is sending to Minnesota, but that's the number will help cover the $12 million owed to DeSclafani, who will be a free agent at the end of the season.\n\nBoth the Mariners and Twins are under budget constraints this offseason and appeared to be strong trade partners based on that “I personally made more calls on this trade than I have ever made on any trade before.” previously, at the behest of both sides, I would like to add \\[Polanco\\] and those of our group,” said Mariners general manager Justin Hollander.“”, “providerName”: “MLB”, “providerUrl”:null, “thumbnail_url”:null, “type”: “oembed”, “width”: 425, “contentType”: “rich”}, {“__typename” : “Markdown”, “content”: “Polanco was the Twins' iron man from 2019 to 2021, playing nearly every game as a fixture at the top of the lineup, but lingering injuries held him back in '22 and '23.

However, he remained a productive cornerstone of the lineup when healthy.\n\n“We did a very thorough medical evaluation,” Hollander said. “I think we understand what the injuries were. One of the things that is important to us and has been important for our training staff is to understand what kind of worker “Polo” is and get our feedback on whether he works as hard as everyone else.”\n\nPolanco has .255/ shortened. .335/.454 (.789 OPS) with 14 home runs and 48 RBIs in 80 games last season, which equates to 1.5 wins above replacement, which is roughly half a season, according to FanGraphs.
