Gleyber Torres, the New York Yankees’ second baseman, has recently unfollowed the team on Instagram, sparking speculation about his future with the franchise. This social media move comes amid his free agency status, adding fuel to the rumors of a potential departure.
Torres has been a key figure for the Yankees since his debut in 2018, delivering both memorable performances and moments of inconsistency. His recent actions on social media have led fans to wonder if an “epic breakup” is on the horizon.
In a recent interview, Torres expressed his openness to returning to the Yankees but acknowledged the business nature of baseball. He stated, “I’ve played here since 2018. I’ve got family here. I know everybody in the organization, but at the end of the day, it’s a business and I can’t control that.”
Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman has hinted at exploring other options for the team’s infield, including moving Jazz Chisholm Jr. to second base and considering minor league prospect Caleb Durbin. This suggests that the Yankees are preparing for the possibility of Torres’s departure.
While unfollowing a team on social media doesn’t confirm an imminent exit, it often indicates a shift in the player’s relationship with the organization. As the offseason progresses, fans will be watching closely to see if this social media move foreshadows a significant change in the Yankees’ roster.
