The New York Mets' 2026 campaign saw Jorge Polanco deliver a historically poor performance following his two-year, $40 million signing. Originally expected to provide versatility across the infield and designated hitter spot, Polanco was limited to just 37 games due to persistent lower-leg injuries.
His offensive output was among the worst in the league, resulting in a -1.4 fWAR that tied for the lowest mark in Major League Baseball this season. This production level stands as the most significant underperformance by a Mets player in the current century.
While Mark Vientos also struggled with a -1.1 fWAR, Polanco's inability to stay healthy or effective at the plate marked a major disappointment for the organization.
