Gleyber Torres didn't get his due farewell from the New York Yankees, with whom he played for seven years and earned two All-Star selections in the process.
Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch had plenty of praise for infielder Gleyber Torres. While Hinch surely didn't mean to take a shot at the Yankees, it's hard not to see it as such.
Gleyber Torres signed with the Detroit Tigers during the offseason after playing his first seven seasons for the New York Yankees. Torres will play second base for the Tigers this season, a position he played for the Yankees for years, even after Brian Cashman said he wanted him to move to third last season.
But Tigers manager A.J. Hinch has been encouraged by what he has seen from Torres since the ex-Yankee signed a one-year, $15 million contract with Detroit.
Gleyber Torres discusses his departure from the New York Yankees, the tension that led to it, and his excitement about starting fresh with the Detroit Tigers in the MLB.
