From Gary Phillips:
Says here that Nick Torres, the 2025 Mexican League MVP, has joined the #Yankees.
The 32-year-old, a righty-swinging corner OF who has also played 1B, hasn’t played in affiliated MiLB games since 2018. Slashed .347/.425/.730 with 27 HR and 79 RBI for Unión Laguna. He’s hit .343 with a 1.025 OPS for the club since 2021.
It’s a minor league pact, so it’s very low risk, but I guess they’re hoping for him to be a right-handed platoon partner for Ben Rice and a right handed power bat off of the bench. That’d be nice. I doubt it’ll work out, but it’s a low risk bet.
