Ha-Seong Kim, a potential Gleyber Torres replacement for the New York Yankees, was predicted to land a $14 million deal.

In recent days, the New York Yankees discussed trades for two second base options: Gavin Lux of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Luis Arraez of the San Diego Padres. With Lux now headed to Cincinnati, Arraez remains their sole current infield target – and that may be great for the Yankees.

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

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.

The Detroit Tigers have signed former New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres to a $15 million, one-year contract.

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.
