The Yankees announced on Sunday morning that the club and infielder Gleyber Torres have agreed to a one-year contract, avoiding arbitration.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Torres filed at $10.2 million, while the team countered at $9.7 million. According to multiple reports, Torres’ one-year deal is worth $9.95 million.
Torres remains under team control through the 2024 season, his last year of arbitration eligibility.
After having two down seasons in 2020 and 2021, Torres had a nice bounce-back year in 2022, though he wasn’t quite the same All-Star player that he was in 2018-19. The middle infielder slashed .257/.310/.451 this season with 24 homers, 76 RBI, and 73 runs scored.
While his Yankees career started out with a bang with back-to-back All-Star appearances in 2018 and 2019, Torres’ time with the team has been very up and down, making his long-term future with the club somewhat murky.
The Yankees have a few different options when it comes to setting their starting infield, so Torres could theoretically start at either second or short, but with Anthony Volpe and Oswald Peraza waiting in the wings, Torres could eventually be moved.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
