On Friday, it was announced that free agent slugger Gleyber Torres would be signing with the Detroit Tigers. The two sides agreed to a one-year, $15 million deal for the 2025 season.
Torres is coming off a season with the New York Yankees, during which he played in 154 games. He hit .257/.330/.378 with 15 home runs and 63 runs batted in.
He should be a great addition to Detroit's lineup, a lineup that showed some fight last season. According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, Torres will be the club's everyday second baseman.
"Gleyber Torres will be the everyday first baseman, Colt Keith will now play first base, and 1B Spencer Torkelson's role has yet to be defined, Tigers GM Scott harris says" said Nightengale.
