New York Yankees fans just experienced collective shock with news arriving that Trent Grisham will accept his qualifying offer and don pinstripes in 2026. Grisham's surprising decision will dominate Yankees headlines for the next few days, but his wasn't the only QO acceptance relevant to the club.
Former Yank and current Detroit Tigers infielder Gleyber Torres also said yes to his qualifying offer, which reflects an underrated win for the Yankees that will inevitably get lost in the Grisham media storm.
With Torres set to earn $22.025 million in 2026, he'll have ultimately cost the Tigers a little over $37 million in 2025 and 2026 (Detroit signed Torres to a one-year, $15 million deal last December).
