Not long ago, Gleyber Torres was one of the brightest stars in Major League Baseball. But after his breakthrough season in 2019, the New York Yankees shortstop has not been the same in the last couple of years.

Not only Torres, but the New York Yankees are also going through a rough patch. Even the current free agency has not been a good one for the MLB’s most successful franchise.

Notably, Torres had a sensational year in the 2019 season. The 25-year-old Venezuelan shortstop was a force to reckon with in the 2019 and 2020 seasons. In his rookie year, he smashed 24 home runs, and then in his second year, he was one of the top performers of the league with a whopping 38 homers. 

He was also an All-Star second baseman in his first two seasons in MLB. But after that, Torres managed to club only 12 homers in the 2020 and 2021 seasons combined.
