Gleyber Torres's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Washington Nationals and Los Angeles Angels have expressed interest in free-agent second baseman Gleyber Torres. However, if he were to sign in Washington, Torres would have to move to another spot in the infield with Luis Garcia Jr. expected to operate as the starting second baseman. Last season, the Angels lacked consistent offensive production at the keystone. With the Yankees, Torres held a .257/.330/.378 slash line with 15 home runs and four stolen bases last season. Under the hood, he generated a weak 35.4% hard-hit rate and 6.3% barrel rate, both of which were a sharp decline from his 2023 production. Torres has been a reliable second baseman from a fantasy perspective throughout his career and has been able to contribute to all five standard categories and could be worth a look at a low ADP investment this offseason.

Free-agent infielder Gleyber Torres is drawing interest on the open market from the Los Angeles Angels and Toronto Blue Jays, among other teams. The Blue Jays just swung a trade to land second baseman Andres Gimenez from the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday, so that likely puts them out of the running for Torres' services. A move to the Angels wouldn't be as sexy from a fantasy perspective, but he'd be the team's starting second baseman and would be paired with middle-infield partner Zach Neto at the 6. An addition of Torres in Anaheim would also allow the Halos to use Luis Rengifo as a super-utility player in the infield and outfield. The Venezuelan infielder was an All-Star his first two years in the league in 2018 and 2019 with the New York Yankees. His power took a big dip in his walk year in 2024, and it's uncertain if it can return, especially outside of Yankee Stadium.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres collected three hits in five at-bats in a 6-3 win over the Guardians in Game 2 of the ALCS. Torres doubled, scored twice in the contest, and has now hit safely in three straight games. Through six playoff games in 2024, the 27-year-old is slashing .292/.433/.500 with three RBI and seven runs scored, while displaying improved plate discipline with a 6:4 BB:K. The 2x All-Star and the Yankees will see Matthew Boyd on the hill for the Guardians in Game 3 in Cleveland, and although Torres is just 1-for-9 off the southpaw, he's seen more success versus LHP this season (.811 OPS) compared to RHP (.674 OPS).
