After seven memorable seasons with the New York Yankees, free agent second baseman Gleyber Torres has agreed to a one-year contract worth $15 million with the Detroit Tigers. Following the announcement, Torres shared his appreciation for the Yankees organization, fans, and his teammates on X. "Wow where to start or how to start," Torres wrote. "Thank you. The Yankees were my family since 2016. A simple boy from Venezuela with great aspirations to play in the most epic city in the world, the Yankees gave me all the love and support I needed to achieve my childhood dream. Wearing pinstripes was an honor for me and my family." In July 2016, New York acquired Torres in a prospect-laden trade for then-relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman. By 2017, Torres was regarded as one of the top five prospects in all of baseball. He burst onto the Major League scene as a 21-year-old rookie in 2018, posting an impressive .820 OPS with 3.6 WAR in 123 games for the playoff-bound Yankees.
