Second baseman Gleyber Torres<\/a> was a huge piece of the New York Yankees’ postseason run this past year, dominating as their leadoff hitter<\/a> in October. But despite his magical turnaround in 2024 that saw him go from one of the Yankees’ worst hitters to one of their best, it doesn’t look like the 27-year-old will be returning to the Bronx.<\/p>\n

The Yankees did not grant Torres a qualifying offer, and when asked about Torres\u2019 free agency, general manager Brian Cashman stated, \u201cI\u2019m not gonna dissect what he\u2019s good at and not as good at. Obviously, he\u2019ll have a lot of conversations with a lot of teams that have a need in that area and that might include us, who knows. But appreciate his efforts while he was here.\u201d That doesn’t sound like a GM who wants to bring his player back, meaning that Gleyber Torres is almost certainly going to hit the open market as a free agent.<\/p>\n
