Shocking Twist: Yankees’ All-Star Told to Bolt to Toronto
The Toronto Blue Jays have a chance to get back on track in 2025.
Toronto struggled in 2024. That much is true. The Blue Jays were unable to ride off the high of the 2023 season. Toronto won 89 games in 2023 and followed it up with a last-place finish in the American League East in 2024 with just 74 wins.
“This wasn’t the walk year Torres probably envisioned,” Kavner said. “But while his performance can fluctuate and his defense can confound at times, he’s still one of the most talented middle infielders on the market. He’ll also be just 28 when next year begins, and he flourished toward the end of 2024 after moving into the Yankees’ leadoff spot. Possible fits: (Seattle Mariners), Yankees, (Boston Red Sox), Blue Jays, (San Francisco Giants).”
Torres would be an interesting pickup for the Blue Jays. He slashed .257/.330/.378 with 15 home runs and 63 RBIs in what was somewhat a down year for him. He has four seasons with 24 home runs or more in his seven-year big league career.
He is just 27 years old and is projected to get a three-year, $20 million deal this winter. If he actually is available for that price, the Blue Jays certainly should snatch him.
