Gleyber Torres gushes over Tigers fans making him an All-Star starter after messy Yankees exit
NY Post
Gleyber Torres seems to be enjoying himself with his new team in Detroit.
The former Yankee had a sour exit from The Bronx after struggling on the field, clashing with the organization and losing much of his support from fans.
Now, the 28-year-old is the everyday second baseman for the American League’s top team and just received an All-Star starter nod for the first time in his career.
“To all fans: I want to express my gratitude for all the support you have given me during this season,” Torres posted on X. “I’ve never felt that support more strongly than now after the starting position players have been announced for the 2025 All-Star Game. I’m so proud to have been voted the starting second baseman for the American League All-Star team by you, the fans.”
After Torres’ seven-year Yankees stint came to an end, general manager Brian Cashman told YES Network that he wanted Torres to move to third base so Jazz Chisholm Jr. could play second, but Torres was “unwilling” to make the switch.
“I feel I deserve to be with an organization that wants me,” Torres told The Post’s Dan Martin during spring training. “I’m here now and that’s the reason I’m here.”
