Second baseman Gleyber Torres divulged Saturday that the New York Yankees did not offer him a contract in free agency before he decided to sign with the Detroit Tigers this week.
According to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch, Torres said:
"After the World Series, I got a lot of phone calls from other teams and just focused to get an opportunity in another place. I feel like I have to play where somebody wants to give the best for me, and I just want to be available to do the best for the team.
"I've got great friends there, great communication with the entire organization.
