Gleyber Torres is taking his talents to the Midwest.
The now ex-Yankee second baseman is signing a contract with the Detroit Tigers, noti.group’s Jon Heyman first reported Friday.
Torres, 28, had been looking for a new contract from the Yankees as one of their more durable players, having appeared in 158 and 154 games, respectively, over the last two seasons.
He hit .257 last season with 15 home runs, 63 RBIs and a .709 OPS.
His 1.8 WAR was the worst figure he has had in his career for a full season.
The Yankees are still looking to fill out their infield, but in-house options to replace him include third baseman Jazz Chisholm and DJ LeMahieu.
