Gleyber Torres on third base

The New York Yankees acquired Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the Miami Marlins, prompting discussions about Gleyber Torres potentially moving from second base to third. Manager Aaron Boone acknowledged Torres's reluctance to switch positions, emphasizing that Torres is primarily a second baseman and has not played third base since 2018. Despite Torres's recent resurgence at the plate, batting .316 over his last 21 games, he expressed dissatisfaction with the idea of changing positions, stating, 'I’m a second baseman. I play second.' Boone plans to have Torres take occasional grounders at third base for practice but will initially give Chisholm the opportunity to play third. The Yankees are also dealing with roster logistics as they prepare for Giancarlo Stanton's return from injury. Overall, the team's strategy aims to maintain stability while adapting to recent acquisitions.
