gleyber torres is on the market and the Yankees hope to get a nice dividend from a trade for the Venezuelan second baseman, who is coming off a good 2022 season in the MLB.
The yankees they need to get a starter and an outfielder and Torres could be the key to getting this pair of players and the Pittburgh Pirates have material to look for that change that New York management is looking for so much.

One outfielder who should be included in the trade is Bryan Reynolds, who has already been linked several times with the Yankees. Over the past two seasons he has averaged 26 home runs and 75 RBIs in a Pirates uniform.
Mitch Keller is a starter that they could include in the move and it would be fair to get a player like Torres, who could make a double play partner with the Dominican Oneil Cruz.
Keller is coming off a strong season, posting a 3.91 ERA in 159.1 innings pitched last season. He could get the fifth spot in the Yankees’ rotation after the injury to Dominican Frankie Montás, who will miss the first months of the 2023 MLB season.
