Gleyber Torres’ future still very much in flux as Yankees’ second base options come into view
NY Post
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.
“I’m waiting for the call,” Torres said Tuesday, when he was honored by the Cristian Rivera Foundation at Cipriani Wall Street to raise awareness of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma.

Despite some excellent stretches in the run to the World Series, the Yankees seem prepared to move on from Torres after a horrific first half of the 2024 season, as well as continuation of the mental mistakes he’s made throughout his career.
