Gleyber Torres wants to be a New York Yankee for life.
The veteran second baseman said as much during a media scrum on Wednesday. Forget the Yankees’ infield depth or that it’s his contract year. Pinstripes are who he is.
“I don’t want to leave here,” Torres said. “I want to be a Yankee for life.”
Torres has been a Yankee since he was a teenager acquired from the Cubs in 2016. He debuted in 2018 and has since become a two-time All-Star. His career year came in 2019, his second pro season, when Torres slammed 38 home runs.
