It’s become clear now. Gleyber Torres is taking the phrase “walk year” a little too literally.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone was more revelatory the day after he abandoned character and pulled free-agent-to-be Torres for his controversial, crushed walk-on single. However, it still isn’t known exactly why Boone — after watching Torres occasionally play at half speed over more than a half-decade — finally on Friday removed Torres from a game for failing to hustle.
Chisholm brings panache to a mostly staid clubhouse that needed it. He also provides an accidental counterpoint to Torres’ too-cool approach. Boone suggested he didn’t do it to get Torres going — he’s already going better, at least by the early-season standard he set — but maybe it wakes up his whole underachieving team. Torres’ lack of hustle probably cost the Yankees a base in defeat, but maybe this surprising turn shocks a team that used to be 29 games over but isn’t anymore. The biggest one might be the rotation that isn’t close to reaching its potential.
