Gleyber Torres' time with the New York Yankees has officially come to an end. Could the Bombers fill that void by signing veteran Donovan Solano?

Gleyber Torres manned the second base position for the New York Yankees from 2018 through 2024, helping to solidify the middle infield well enough to help the Bronx Bombers get to the postseason in six of his seven years there.

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

The New York Yankees let Gleyber Torres walk in free agency. They have a hole to fill at second base. While there are some internal options, they have had discussions with a Colorado Rockies Gold Glover.

Replacing Gleyber Torres seems to be getting tougher by the day for the New York Yankees. Lowe would be a logical player to replace him with, but if the Tampa Bay Rays aren’t willing to move him to the Yankees, New York will have to look elsewhere.

Gleyber Torres received multi-year offers in free agency before signing with the Tigers, but did not hear from the Yankees. Read more at MLBTR.

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.

Gleyber Torres, the New York Yankees’ star second baseman since 2018, elected to leave the Bronx as a free agent over the Christmas holidays, signing a one-year, $15 million deal with the Detroit Tigers.

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.
