Gleyber Torres was in New York Tuesday night. Where he’ll end up by the start of next season remains an open question.
The second baseman, whose Yankees career has seen plenty of highs and lows since he was acquired as the centerpiece of the trade that sent Aroldis Chapman to the Cubs in 2016, is a free agent for the first time in his career. Gleyber Torres said he has enjoyed his time with the Yankees, but also said he’s “in a good spot” as a free agent.
Speaking last week at the GM meetings in San Antonio about Torres, Brian Cashman said, “I’m not gonna dissect what he’s good at and not as good at. Obviously, he’ll have a lot of conversations with a lot of teams that have a need in that area and that might include us, who knows. But appreciate his efforts while he was here.”
If Torres lands elsewhere, the Yankees could also turn to minor league prospect Caleb Durbin, who is coming off a strong season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and is playing well in the Arizona Fall League.Gleyber Torres, making an error during a regular season game last season, has often suffered untimely defensive miscues during his Yankees’ tenure.Durbin, 24, has been unable to stay healthy and never played more than 105 games in any pro season.
Durbin has drawn some comparisons to San Diego’s Luis Arraez due to his ability to put the ball in play.
