Gleyber Torres, a star for the Yankees, takes a tough stance on his club’s future.
Is Gleyber Torres here to stay for the foreseeable future with the New York Yankees? The club will be debating this issue nonstop this season. After joining New York in the major leagues for the first time in 2018, Torres has been a star. One of baseball’s top second basemen, the two-time All-Star will become a free agency at the end of the current season.
Although Torres’ name has surfaced in trade rumors, it appears that he will stay with the team through the end of the 2024 season at the very least. According to ESPN’s Enrique Rojas, Torres seems like he wants to stay in New York, despite some speculating that he may wind up elsewhere in free agency.
Torres addressed Rojas, saying, “I think a lot of people on the outside don’t know what it’s like to play here (for Yankees).” “Playing here has been amazing ever since I came here in the minors. It’s true that no one with a decent family wants to leave their house.” In 2023, New York’s offense was a major problem, but Torres was an exception.
In 158 games, the 27-year-old slashed.273/.347/.453, hit 25 home runs, and drove in 68 runs. He will undoubtedly benefit New York in 2024, but if it wants to keep outfielder Juan Soto, his price tag might prove to be too much for the team to pay in free agency. In New York, Torres has grown to be a beloved figure; perhaps, the parties can come to an amicable agreement.
