Would The New York Yankees Ever Consider Trading Gleyber Torres?

New York Yankees, Gleyber Torres

Gleyber Torres has played phenomenal ever since the New York Yankees called him up 2018, already being selected to two all-star teams. But, would the Yankees ever consider trading him?

Trade Packages

If they traded him, they could get a lot in exchange. The Yankees could try and make a deal with a team for starting pitching if Brian Cashman is reluctant to sign pitchers in free agency. They could seriously get some high level pitching for Torres in a trade. He has the potential to become a superstar.

They could also get prospects and international signing money to go along with the pitchers. Cashman has acquired some big prospects in trades before and could do it again. He’s also really good at getting the international signing money, and recently signed top foreign prospect Jasson Dominguez with some of it.

Didi

If the Yankees dealt Gleyber Torres, they would absolutely need to resign Didi Gregorius. Didi had a down year in 2019, but has shown a lot more previously and will likely bounce back in 2020.

Didi would play short and DJ LeMahieu  would play second. This could also give guys like Miguel Andujar, Mike Ford, and Luke Voit another chance at the corners.

The Yankees also have enough middle infield depth with Tyler Wade and Thairo Estrada in AAA. One of them will likely be on the MLB roster no matter what, but trading Gleyber would give them even more of a chance.

If the Yankees traded Gleyber Torres, they could fill most of the roles they need. The downside is that you obviously lose an incredible young talent. But, the Yankees realistically wouldn’t ever consider trading him, but who knows? Cashman could surprise us with another blockbuster.
