The New York Yankees have a handful of players who will be entering free agency when the 2024 Major League Baseball season comes to an end.
New York will have to make some tough decisions soon and they all will revolve around how free agency plays out with superstar slugger Juan Soto.
He will receive a historic deal and if the Yankees are able to retain him, it will be difficult to bring back some other familiar faces.
One player who also will be a free agent is second baseman Gleyber Torres. He has been in trade rumors at points and it has been speculated that he would be leaving the team at the end of the season in free agency.
Torres is a two-time All-Star but is having a down year. He has started to turn things around lately but may have to settle for a one-year deal in free agency, according toESPN’s Jeff Passan.
“The conundrum of Torres has vexed the Yankees for the past half-decade,” Passan said. “They see the power, the potential. They also see the inconsistent swing and bordering-on-wretched defense. They try to help. Nothing works. And yet at the same time, some who have worked with Torres wonder if simply leaving New York and hearing new voices will help unlock what the Yankees have been unable to.
