MLB: The reason why the Yankees did not trade Gleyber Torres due to pitching is revealed

New York Yankees they have shown off all their shortcomings in the second half of the season, and now that the final stretch is approaching from the regular season to the playoffs, Aaron Boone has made some decisions with players who have not performed, as he has been the Venezuelan Gleyber Torres, who has been one of those who has had the worst after the All-Starsince he decided to sit him down and give opportunities to the top prospects in the organization like L

The truth is that the organization has already been disenchanted with Gleyber’s performances for some time, so much so that they could have changed it before the final date, but they preferred not to, since according to information from Jon Heyman of MLB Network in his column in The New York Post , the Yankees were negotiating with the Miami Marlins for pitcher Pablo López and infielder Miguel Rojas.

However, the Marlins, in addition to asking for Gleyber Torres, also demanded that they include Oswald Peraza in the trade package, whom the Yankees had labeled as non-transferable, because he is one of the team’s quarry gems and they had plans with him in the immediate future, which were reflected in his recent call up to the Major Leagues.

In the end, the change did not happen and the team looked for pitching and depth on the other hand, with the Bronx acquiring Frankie Montás from the Athletics and Andrew Benintendi from the Royals, in addition to letting Joey Gallo go to the Dodgers.

Fernando Tatis Jr., Juan Soto and Ronald Acuña are the future of baseball, Mike Trout is overrated, and the Astros deserved to have the World Series taken from them for their cheating. Besides baseball, I also enjoy football, flag football, basketball, and just about any other game that involves a ball or ball. I’m also an amateur musician, a penniless gamer and very nerdy.
