Polanco hit .288/.345/.427 with 42 RBIs across 77 games for Minnesota last season.
That production came after the 25-year-old returned from an 80-game suspension as a result of testing positive for Stanozolol.
Additionally, Minnesota reportedly agreed to a contract extension with outfielder Max Kepler on Thursday.
