Fansided\u2019s\u00a0Rucker Haringey\u00a0urged the Yankees to pursue All-Star utility man Jorge Polanco as an upgrade for either second base, third, or left field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew York places value on versatility, which is why signing Jorge Polanco could make a lot of sense. He\u2019s not a plus defender but he can hold up at second, third or left field. That, combined with his ability to hit for extra bases, would make him a good fit on the Yankees\u2019 roster\u2026Signing Polanco isn\u2019t going to win the press conference with the New York media, but he\u2019d give Boone another professional hitter to wield against quality pitching. Landing another bat who can make elite contact and hit with some pop could help the Yankees lengthen their lineup in a major way,\u201d Haringey wrote.<\/p>\n<p>This season, Polanco slashed .265\/.326\/.495\/.821 with 30 doubles, 26 home runs, and 78 RBI in 138 games. He\u2019s also a switch-hitter, which would play very well in Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Polanco could play at second, shortstop, third, or left field for the Yankees, but with Jazz Chisolm and Anthony Volpe taking up the middle infield, that leaves third and left. With McMahon not hitting well at all last season, taking his spot seems most likely.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, the Yanks contact Polanco ASAP, as his current team, the\u00a0Seattle Mariners, will definitely try and retain him.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yankees urged to pursue $7.75 million All-Star to replace Ryan McMahon, upgrade lineup\u2019s contact ability\u00a0originally appeared on\u00a0The Sporting News.
