Signing Scoop: Toronto Targets Yankees’ Break-Out Star
Will the Toronto Blue Jays add some more firepower to the offense this winter?
It certainly seems like they at least are going to try to do so and may even look into signing a star from one of the team’s biggest rivals.
“If the Blue Jays don’t add a corner outfielder, the next most likely position they’ll upgrade is second base, so it’s worth noting that Ha-Seong Kim’s expected to be fully recovered from shoulder surgery early in 2025, according to agent Scott Boras,” Nicholson-Smith said. “As expected, the Blue Jays have some interest in Kim and Gleyber Torres as they survey infield options.”
Torres is projected to get a three-year, $20 million deal this winter by Spotrac, and the Blue Jays certainly have gotten a good look at him over the years as a member of the Yankees. He seemingly has become underrated at this point in his career.
He is just 27 years old and has four seasons with 24 or more home runs under his belt in seven seasons. Torres finished the 2024 campaign with 15 home runs and 63 RBIs in 154 games with the Yankees.
Could he be the solution for the Blue Jays at second base this winter?
