Gleyber Torres manned the second base position for the New York Yankees from 2018 through 2024, helping to solidify the middle infield well enough to help the Bronx Bombers get to the postseason in six of his seven years there.

Torres said his focus moved beyond the Yankees immediately after the World Series when he began hearing from other teams.

A proposed trade idea would land the New York Yankees a Gleyber Torres replacement in the form of Michael Massey. The post Yankees Land Gleyber Torres Replacement in Trade Pitch appeared first on Heavy Sports.

The Yankees reportedly did not offer Gleyber Torres a contract offer before the two-time All-Star signed with the Tigers.

Gleyber Torres, the New York Yankees’ star second baseman since 2018, elected to leave the Bronx as a free agent over the Christmas holidays, signing a one-year, $15 million deal with the Detroit Tigers.

A return to the Yankees was not in the cards for Gleyber Torres. The second baseman said the Yankees were not particularly aggressive during his free agency before he signed a one-year, $15 million contract with the Detroit Tigers late last week. “I didn’t really have any offer from them,” Torres said during an introductory Zoom call.

The Detroit Tigers have signed former New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres to a $15 million, one-year contract.

The New York Yankees have a need at second base after they let Gleyber Torres walk. They could plug DJ LeMahieu in at second base, but he would not be much of an upgrade. They could trade for a young Kansas City Royals star.
