When Gleyber Torres left the New York Yankees in free agency after the 2024 season, it wasn't exactly an amicable split.
There were years of disappointment and underperformance from the second baseman, followed by comments from general manager Brian Cashman about Torres' supposed refusal to move to third base after the Yankees acquired Jazz Chisholm Jr. at the trade deadline last season. Torres had been open about his frustrations on social media and in interviews, leading to an even more contentious relationship with Yankees management.
After the Yankees lost the World Series, Torres claimed he didn't hear a word from Cashman or manager Aaron Boone.
