NEW YORK -- In a matter of weeks, Gleyber Torres will report to the Yankees' Spring Training facility with a legitimate chance of being named the Opening Day second or third baseman. As far as MLB Pipeline is concerned, there is no better prospect at shortstop.
With Didi Gregorius locked in at that position, the Yanks have expanded Torres' versatility since his July 2016 acquisition from the Cubs, hoping to accelerate the 21-year-old's progression to The Show. It is a jump that Torres is expected to make as soon as this season.
