The Yankees are reportedly shopping Gleyber Torres to clear their infield logjam, and there’s one opportunity that’s flying right under the radar.
What if general manager Brian Cashman used trading Torres as a vehicle for also moving Isiah Kiner-Falefa? Maybe offer two infielders for the price of one prospect as opposed to two?
Granted, this is all speculation. Kiner-Falefa is under contract for $6 million in 2023 and is one of Cashman’s analytics darlings. Forget his lightweight bat and polarizing defense. His -9 career outs above average (OAA) and weak arm were trumped by his +24 defensive runs saved (DRS).
