Any hope that New York Mets fans had about All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso and closer Edwin Díaz reversing course and returning to Queens officially ended on Friday, Dec. 12, when they officially signed their respective contracts with the Baltimore Orioles and Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Baltimore Orioles stole Pete Alonso from the New York Mets, and the Mets need to respond by signing a different slugger.

The New York Mets have agreed to a two-year deal with veteran infielder Jorge Polanco, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press on Saturday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal was pending a physical and had not been announced.

After seeing the lineup lose Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo this offseason, the Mets made their first addition to the offense, signing Jorge Polanco to a two-year deal worth $40 million, The Post confirmed. The 32-year-old Polanco spent the previous two seasons in Seattle and last year had 26 homers, an OPS of .821 and a career-high OPS-plus of 134.

The Boston Red Sox are looking for hitters to add to their lineup, but this power hitter reportedly isn't gaining much interest from them.
