Since taking over as manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, Joe Girardi has turned a portion of the Phils into the Yankees South. That continued on Wednesday with former Yankees super-sub Ronald “Toe” Torreyes joining the Fightin’ Phils with a minor league contract.
Despite being only five foot-child inches tall, the Big Toe became a folk hero in the Bronx for his clutch hitting, his utility infield defense, and his very high fives with Aaron Judge. He also served as the faux cameraman in the Yankees dugout.
The 27-year old spent last season in the Minnesota Twins organization.
