Just nine months after he parted ways with the New York Yankees in rather unceremonious fashion as a free agent, Gleyber Torres received a hero's welcome when he returned to the Bronx for the first time as a member of the visiting team.
When the Yankees let Torres walk after the 2024 season, the second baseman signed a one-year, $15 million contract with the Detroit Tigers. Torres hadn't exactly been a fan favorite in New York after his numbers dipped significantly following his 38-homer season in 2019, so it wasn't a guarantee that he would be welcomed with open arms.
