Torres, 28, signed a one-year deal with the Tigers worth $15 million and he’s coming in highly motivated on two fronts.

Gleyber Torres discusses his departure from the New York Yankees, the tension that led to it, and his excitement about starting fresh with the Detroit Tigers in the MLB. Venezuelan infielder Gleyber Torres is eager to put past controversies with the New York Yankees behind him and focus entirely on his future with the Detroit Tigers.

Gleyber Torres was with the Yankees last year, and their GM, Brian Cashman, recently stated publicly that Torres was unwilling to move to third base after the team acquired Jazz Chisholm. Torres was asked about it, but he didn't want to talk Yankees drama as he is only focused on this upcoming season with the Tigers.
