Mets plan to replace Pete Alonso has flopped this year. What happens in 2027?

Jorge Polanco’s rough first year with the Mets has reached a new low in the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader at Citi Field. Batting .144 over 26 games, Polanco went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts and a sacrifice bunt in New York’s 3-2 win over the Braves. The latest frustration came when he struck out looking in the seventh inning with the bases loaded during a one-run game, drawing boos from Mets fans. After returning from a three-month injured list stint, he’s hit .098 (4-for-41) with 14 strikeouts and is 0-for-18 over his last five games entering Thursday.
