Jorge Polanco is officially a New York Met as of Tuesday, thus closing the book on a two-year run with the Seattle Mariners that ended on a high note. In case any Mariners fans were wondering, it meant as much to him as it did to anyone in the Pacific Northwest.
You can take it from what Polanco posted to Instagram after his Mets deal became official:
"I cannot express with words how grateful me and my family are for the belief YOU had in me. First you traded for me and then you signed me when everyone else doubted me after surgery.
