The Seattle Mariners are acquiring second baseman Jorge Polanco from the Minnesota Twins in a trade, multiple reports said Monday.

The Twins will receive right-handed pitchers Anthony DeSclafani and Justin Topa and two prospects, outfielder Gabriel Gonzalez and right-hander Darren Bowen, per the reports.

Polanco, 30, has spent his entire 10-year major league career with the Twins and is coming off a season that saw him bat .255 with a .454 slugging percentage, 14 home runs and 48 RBIs in 80 games.

In 832 career games, Polanco has a .269 average and a .446 slugging percentage with 112 homers, 181 doubles and 447 RBIs.

DeSclafani, 33, went from the Giants to the Mariners in the trade that sent Robbie Ray to San Francisco earlier this month. He went 4-8 with a 4.88 ERA in 19 games (18 starts) for the Giants last season and owns a 54-56 career record and a 4.20 ERA in parts of nine seasons.

Topa, 32, played sparingly for the Milwaukee Brewers from 2020-22 before making 75 relief appearances for Seattle in 2023. He went 5-4 with a 2.61 ERA and three saves.
