You know it’s a slow offseason when a trade between the Yankees and their hated rival Boston Red Sox gets cooked up out of thin air.
A little background. Former MLB reliever and new Boston “Chief Baseball Officer” Craig Breslow was at the GM Meetings in Arizona this week. Speaking with media, he addressed his team’s need for a “right-handed hitting middle infielder” and gave non-answers about upcoming free agent Alex Verdugo.
So, what does all of this have to do with the Yankees? Well, as Audacy’s Rob Bradford noted, “major league sources” named second baseman Gleyber Torres as a potential Boston target.
