When ESPN's Jeff Passan listed second baseman Gleyber Torres as a "perfect fit" for the Kansas City Royals, it was a no-brainer to many fans.
The infielder left the New York Yankees and bet on himself, taking a one-year deal with the upstart Detroit Tigers. Fast forward a year, Torres was instrumental in the Tigers' winning ways in 2025 and earned his third All-Star selection at the keystone.
Considering his production, age, and durability, Passan isn't exaggerating when he calls him a great fit. However, there's a catch to bringing in Torres that will cause Kansas City to pause, and for good reason.
