Gleyber Torres experienced success and inconsistency with the New York Yankees and is hoping to succeed on a one-year deal with the Detroit Tigers.

Infielder Gleyber Torres has agreed to terms with the Detroit Tigers on a one-year contract worth $15 million in free agency. The team announced the deal Friday morning.

The Detroit Tigers signed former New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres to a $15 million, one-year contract on Friday. The two-time All-Star gets a slight raise from his $14.2 million salary with the Yankees.

On Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post and MLB Network reported that Torres had reached agreement with the Detroit Tigers on a free-agent contract. It's a one-year, $15 million deal, per MLB.com. Torres, who just turned 28, became an All-Star in his first two Yankees seasons, topping out with 38 homers, 90 RBI and an .872 OPS in 2019.

A return to the Yankees was not in the cards for Gleyber Torres. The second baseman said the Yankees were not particularly aggressive during his free agency before he signed a one-year, $15 million contract with the Detroit Tigers late last week. “I didn’t really have any offer from them,” Torres said during an introductory Zoom call.

The New York Yankees will enter the new year needing a replacement on the infield. After Gleyber Torres signed a one-year, $15 million deal with the Detroit Tigers, there are some decisions to be made.

The Detroit Tigers signed Gleyber Torres to a one-year contract on Saturday. The former New York Yankees infielder signed in Detroit to be their everyday second baseman. Moreover, he turned down multi-year contract offers in favor of a one-year pact with one of the American League’s best success stories in 2024.
