If Brian Cashman ever reconsiders listening to trade offers for Gleyber Torres, the prized rookie would likely pop the general manager’s second thought the second it surfaced.
Less than 24 hours after Cashman scoffed at the notion of trading the Yankees’ latest sensation, Torres kickstarted the offense once again, delivering a run-scoring double to give the Yankees an early lead in their 4-1 win over the Rays Saturday at a sold-out Yankee Stadium.
Despite making his major league debut on April 22, the 21-year-old still hasn’t experienced anything resembling a slump since joining the Yankees, and has never gone more than two games without recording a hit.
