Gleyber Torres doesn’t know what lies ahead for him in free agency, so he’s choosing to focus on the present and perhaps a final postseason run in The Bronx.
He acknowledged Friday he has thought about the possibility of this being his last October as a Yankee with free agency looming following the playoffs.
Torres’ up-and-down season has been on an upswing, at least at the plate, as he entered Friday with five extra-base hits in his previous 13 games as part of a second half in which the second baseman has put up a respectable .782 OPS in 61 games after July 13. “It’s really hard to explain how I started and struggling the first few months,’’ Torres said. “It was really horrible and frustrating. Every day, I’d go to the cage, do the right thing and then go 0-for-4 with errors and strikeouts.
It’s something Torres lamented the Yankees couldn’t do a year ago, when he had a solid season at the plate, but the team failed to reach the playoffs for the first time in his career. In the middle of some of that solid play, though, have been the mistakes that have hurt Torres at times during his career. on a Juan Soto base hit to run the team out of a rally with Aaron Judge on deck against the Orioles.
