Gleyber Torres Sent To Minors
7 years agoIn a move that seemed inevitable, the New York Yankees officially reassigned top prospect Gleyber Torres to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 21-year-old appeared unlikely to break the major league roster with an extra year of control over him in play should he remain in the minors through mid-April. Additionally, acquisitions of Brandon Drury and most recently Neil Walker, virtually sealed his fate. Torres didn’t exactly help his cause with his play, as he hit just .160 this spring training. While the Venezuelan’s major league status is non-existent in the immediate future, this will only help him, as he’s given more time to grow and get back into shape following Tommy John surgery last year.
