Tomorrow is the day. Tomorrow is the earliest teams can call up their 40-man roster prospects with no MLB experience and still gain that extra year of control. Gleyber Torres is one of those prospects. The Yankees can call Torres up tomorrow, have him for the remaining 146 games of the season, and still get six full years of team control from 2019-24.
The Yankees aren’t going to call Torres up tomorrow, however. I know that with a great deal of certainty. Why? Because tomorrow’s an off-day. No point in calling the kid up on an off-day, you know?
