For about two years, at the trade deadline and during the off-season, a name has surfaced with the New York Yankees.
Which?
I'll give you a few more seconds…
Of course, it's Gleyber Torres.
Although the New York staff persisted and signed saying that they loved the former shortstop moved to second base, his name circulated every time the Bombers were involved in trade rumors.
This is what makes us think that Torres' future is certainly not in New York despite the fact that the latter would like to end his career in the Big Apple, he who was not drafted by the Yankees, but who has grown in the organization since he was 19 years old after being traded from the Chicago Cubs.
The Yankees will have much bigger issues to manage after the 2024 campaign. Indeed, they will want to sign a contract extension to Juan Soto in addition to seeing Gerrit Cole probably use his exit clause in his contract.
It is true that general manager Brian Cashman will certainly respond by activating the tenth year of his ace pitcher's pact, thus reversing his decision, but it is not all free.
Add to that the fact that Bronx officials still haven't discussed a contract extension with Torres and you have the perfect conditions for the main player to FINALLY be traded by the next trade deadline, just before 'it doesn't become free like air.
From this point on, Oswald Peraza will be able to take the pole at second base after being relegated to a bench role due to the presence of Anthony Rizzo, Anthony Volpe, DJ LeMahieu and Torres at forward. field.
We don't know how, but we're going to get along pretty well without you in New York, Gleyber. Thank you for your loyal service.
