When it comes time to talk about trades and the New York Yankees, the name Gleyber Torres often comes up. And since the announcement of the duration of the absence of Frankie Montas, a good part of the season if not the entirety, let’s say that this does not attenuate the rumors.
The main interested party is well aware that his name has been circulating for a long time. Moreover, the Miami Marlins were interested in acquiring his services at the last trade deadline.
Even if they are professionals, all this noise around the same player can be disturbing. And that’s what happened for the second baseman in 2022, he who lost his means in the second half of the campaign, before coming to his senses just before the playoffs.
During the season, you hear that you were almost traded. It’s really difficult, especially when you have a good relationship with your teammates. Ultimately, it’s a business. It is what it is. All I can do is focus more on my game to improve every day.
Despite the fact that the Bronx Bombers have thought about getting rid of Torres and that there is a surplus of infielders in the team, he wants to stay in New York.
I want to stay here. It’s my house. The Yankees gave me my first chance to play in the big leagues. I’m so happy here. I want to stay here for the rest of my career and I feel at home here.
Only time will tell if the Venezuelan will be able to finish his career with the Yankees, but there is no smoke without fire.
If the circumstances are favorable and there is a need to be filled, general manager Brian Cashman will have no choice but to send him elsewhere and the New York fans will have to bid him farewell.
