After the departure of Didi Gregorius, the Yankees find themselves down another left-handed batter. The first question that came from Gregorius’ exit was who was going to replace the five-year Bomber?
The Yanks have known the answer for quite some time, and his name is Gleyber Torres.
There is a reason why the Yankees did not offer Gregorius a Qualifying Offer or a contract extension. They knew that Torres was capable of playing shortstop. After all, short is his natural position.
While there is no question that Lindor would be an excellent addition to the Yankees lineup, he would undoubtedly come at a high cost.
