Gleyber Torres Criticizes Yankees After Joining Tigers

The former Yankees infielder expressed frustration over his exit, saying he wanted to be with a team that values him.

Gleyber Torres, now with the Detroit Tigers, has openly criticized the Yankees over his departure, stating he wanted to be part of an organization that appreciates him.
The trade stemmed from a growing rift between Torres and the Yankees, exacerbated by the team's request for him to switch positions to third base, which he declined.
Torres averaged 2.93 bWAR over the last three seasons, showing consistent performance despite the Yankees' decision to move on from him.
Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman has not publicly addressed Torres' comments, but the team now faces ongoing uncertainty at third base with limited options for the position.
Torres aims to prove his value with the Tigers, who see him as a key addition to their roster as they pursue an American League Central title.
