The same issues have resurfaced this spring, as Torres, nearing his free agency walk year, has struggled at the plate and his defensive lapses have become more glaring. With only about three months left in his likely tenure with the Yankees unless he unexpectedly turns things around, the concern of “selling low” on Torres should not be paramount. If the Yankees doubt Torres’s ability to recover and contribute after dealing with groin tightness and job insecurity, they should acquire assets instead of losing him for nothing. Their infield depth isn’t as robust as it once was, with the loss of Jon Berti being more impactful than expected. The odds of Torres bouncing back in the second half are higher than those of a potential trade acquisition becoming a valuable Yankee. Thus, the best move for New York might be to stick with Torres and add a reliable infield piece for depth.
