Torres 'can't control' potential Yankees return in free agency

Gleyber Torres is keeping his options open as a free agent for the first time in his career.

Torres spent the first seven seasons of his MLB career with the New York Yankees, hitting 138 home runs with 441 RBIs and a .774 OPS in 888 games.

The 27-year-old said he's open to a potential return to the only franchise he's suited up for.

"I've played here since 2018. I've got family here," Torres said Tuesday, according to Dan Martin of the New York Post. "I know everybody in the organization, but at the end of the day, it's a business, and I can't control that. Let's see what it's gonna be the next few months."

Torres hit 15 home runs with 63 RBIs and a .708 OPS across 587 at-bats with the Yankees in 2024. He added a pair of home runs with eight RBIs in 14 postseason games as the Yankees advanced to the World Series for the first time since 2009.

"I feel like I did good things and I'm happy to have played with the Yankees those years," Torres said.
