General manager Brian Cashman still has a hole at second base. Could he fill it by re-signing two-time All-Star Gleyber Torres?<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the year, Torres publicly stated how he\u00a0wanted to be a Yankee for life. However, Cashman remained non-committal and a reunion between the Bombers and the infielder seems unlikely. After posting a .800 OPS with 25 home runs and 68 RBI in 2023, Torres finished 2024 with a .709 OPS, 15 homers and 63 RBI.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"imageBox\">\n<div class=\"innerBox ar23-innerBox\"><picture class=\"mapping-embed\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2550723\/new-york-yankees-infielder-gleyber-torres.webp?w=790&amp;f=a7be8f4187c692e1809d57f81f11bcc8 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2550723\/new-york-yankees-infielder-gleyber-torres.jpg?w=790&amp;f=a7be8f4187c692e1809d57f81f11bcc8 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2550723\/new-york-yankees-infielder-gleyber-torres.webp?w=900&amp;f=f0ed7e63e9e7fb45c165a468b3e494f3 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2550723\/new-york-yankees-infielder-gleyber-torres.jpg?w=900&amp;f=f0ed7e63e9e7fb45c165a468b3e494f3 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2550723\/new-york-yankees-infielder-gleyber-torres.webp?w=790&amp;f=a7be8f4187c692e1809d57f81f11bcc8 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2550723\/new-york-yankees-infielder-gleyber-torres.jpg?w=790&amp;f=a7be8f4187c692e1809d57f81f11bcc8 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2550723\/new-york-yankees-infielder-gleyber-torres.webp?w=450&amp;f=eb431cdac1023a7001fa24c476077989 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2550723\/new-york-yankees-infielder-gleyber-torres.jpg?w=450&amp;f=eb431cdac1023a7001fa24c476077989 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2550723\/new-york-yankees-infielder-gleyber-torres.webp?w=1200&amp;f=e080f78f30408e0c3ecee2096fe5d656\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i2550723\" class=\"mapping-embed imgPhoto\" src=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2550723\/new-york-yankees-infielder-gleyber-torres.jpg?w=1200&amp;f=e080f78f30408e0c3ecee2096fe5d656\" alt=\"New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><\/picture><\/div><figcaption class=\"caption ar23-caption\"><span id=\"short-cap-description\" class=\"cap\">NEW YORK, NY \u2013 OCTOBER 29: Gleyber Torres #25 of the New York Yankees hits a home run during game 4 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Yankee Stadium on October\u2026<\/span>\u00a0<button id=\"read-more-cap\">More<\/button>\u00a0<span class=\"credit ar23-credit\">New York Yankees\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\"><\/div>\n<p>Could the Washington Nationals be a legitimate landing spot for the 28-year-old slugger?\u00a0Just Baseball\u2019s Ryan Finkelstein thinks\u00a0Torres is destined to land in the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing that he is one of the few starting second basemen on the market, with utility infielders Ha-Seong Kim and Jose Iglesias representing the other top free agent options at the position, Torres should have plenty of interest,\u201d Finkelstein said. \u201cWith that said, teams may be wary of committing too many years to Torres, despite the fact that he is only 28 years old.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Heading into the 2024 season, Torres\u2019 projected value for a multi-year deal stood at four years and $68 million,\u00a0per The Athletic\u2019s Tim Britton.
