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.

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

Gleyber Torres experienced success and inconsistency with the New York Yankees and is hoping to succeed on a one-year deal with the Detroit Tigers.

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

Former Yankees 2B Gleyber Torres signs with Detroit Tigers first appeared on Elite Sports NY, the Voice, the Pulse of New York City sports.

The Detroit Tigers signed former New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres to a $15 million, one-year contract on Friday. The two-time All-Star gets a slight raise from his $14.2 million salary with the Yankees.

The New York Yankees have an avenue toward upgrading their defensive prowess at second base that they could take this winter.

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.
