Gleyber Torres' time with the New York Yankees has officially come to an end. Could the Bombers fill that void by signing veteran Donovan Solano?

The New York Yankees let Gleyber Torres walk in free agency. They have a hole to fill at second base. While there are some internal options, they have had discussions with a Colorado Rockies Gold Glover.

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.

The MLB offseason has already produced a handful of big moves, but there are still some great options available on the market for teams to scoop up. One of them came off the board on Friday morning, though, as Gleyber Torres ended up signing with the Detroit Tigers after the New York Yankees let him hit the open market.

The New York Yankees were linked to Jurickson Profar, a potential Gleyber Torres replacement predicted to land a $45 million deal.

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.
