The New York Yankees are short an infielder as things stand currently. Could this experienced veteran who is a former All-Star be the right fit?

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

Gleyber Torres experienced success and inconsistency with the New York Yankees and is hoping to succeed on a one-year deal with the Detroit Tigers.

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.

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.
