Since 2018, Torres has been the starting second baseman for the Yankees. However, he is a free agent, and Bleach Report’s Joel Reuter believes he will sign with the Toronto Blue Jays after leaving the Bronx.

According to Reuter, Torres will bat second and start at second base for Toronto. Michael Conforto and Nolan Arenado are also anticipated to join his lineup in 2025.

All indications suggest that the Blue Jays will be heading into the summer as buyers, as they sold before the trade deadline without trading any important controllable components, according to Reuter. “The organization is obviously willing to spend in the right circumstances, and the aforementioned additions would make this a legitimate contender after making a legitimate push to sign Shohei Ohtani last winter.”

The Blue Jays do have a need at second base and Torres certainly makes sense. The 27-year-old hit last season and has been named to the All-Star team twice.257 with 63 RBIs and 15 home homers.

In free agency, what is Torres anticipated to receive?

In an attempt to restore his value, Torres is probably going to sign a short-term contract in free agency.

Torres is expected to sign a two-year, $36 million contract in free agency, according to MLBTradeRumors.

According to the article, “his free agency has a wide range of outcomes.” Torres will play the entire upcoming season at the age of 28, so he has youth on his side. There is no qualifying offer associated with him, and he is the finest pure second baseman available. A three-year contract isn’t out of the question, and he might yet be able to land a four-year one.

He is also entering the market after a platform year that wasn’t very noteworthy overall. A one- or two-year contract that would allow Torres to opt out and try again at age 29 might be what he’s looking for. We anticipate that in order to have that market flexibility, he will make a small compromise on the total guarantee.

Before turning 30, Torres would like to make another run at the free agent market.

GM of the Yankees Thank You for Your Contributions, Torres

The Yankees seem to have moved past Torres, despite the fact that he is still a free agent.

Torres’ services to the Yankees throughout the years were acknowledged by general manager Brian Cashman during the GM meetings.

Cashman stated, “I want to thank Gleyber for his time here without closing any doors on a reunion happening, but I’m not sure what we’re going to do just yet.”

Cashman adds that Torres’ return is one of the options the Yankees are considering at second base.

There is a vacancy right now since Gleyber is a free agent, Cashman stated. What internal options do we have, then? Do you move Jazz, who was learning third base on the run in the second half of last year, if you don’t resign Gleyber? Do you give Caleb Durbin a look? Do you come across any outside prospects who might not be Gleyber who you could bring in as a free agent? Perhaps you will bring back Gleyber. Is a trade candidate present? It is our responsibility to assess everything and then see how it integrates with the rest of the roster. We are going to do those things.
