Regardless, a chance of scenery isn't going to give him enough upside to warrant rostering in fantasy formats. Fantasy managers can continue to ignore Polanco in fantasy leagues going ...

The Pittsburgh Pirates placed outfielder Gregory Polanco on outright waivers Sunday, according to Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic. If he goes unclaimed, he can become a free agent if he doesn't want a minor league assignment. Polanco, who has spent eight seasons in the Pirates outfield, has never lived up to the hype that he once had with a career .240/.309/.408 slash line. It's been ugly 2020 season, as he's hit .198 with 11 HRs, 34 RBI, 36 runs, and 14 SBs. If he can latch onto another team, ...
