Los Angeles Angels
The Los Angeles Angels are in a retooling phase, and Gleyber Torres could bridge the gap at second base until prospect Christian Moore is MLB-ready. With Luis Rengifo offering versatility and Anthony Rendon’s health always in question, Torres could step in as a dependable option.

The Angels ranked 29th in wRC+ (71) and OPS (.593) at second base in 2024. Torres would immediately elevate their lineup, and a short-term deal would allow him to rebuild his market value while giving the Angels a potential trade chip at the deadline.

Seattle Mariners

The Seattle Mariners have been on the lookout for a long-term second baseman, and Gleyber Torres fits the bill perfectly. After disappointing experiments with Kolten Wong and Jorge Polanco, Torres provides an ideal solution. With his proven ability to deliver 25+ HR seasons and a career 120+ wRC+ upside, Torres would immediately bolster the Mariners' infield.

Seattle's second basemen posted a 95 wRC+ and ranked 29th in batting average (.209) in 2024. Adding Torres would not only stabilize the position but also enhance their leadoff spot, providing much-needed support to Victor Robles, who had a breakout season. His recent .311 batting average and .818 OPS in the leadoff role for the Yankees highlight his value at the top of the order.

Toronto Blue Jays
The Toronto Blue Jays need to solidify their infield, and Gleyber Torres could be the missing piece. While names like Willy Adames and Alex Bregman have been linked to Toronto, Torres offers a versatile and cost-effective alternative.

Second base remains an area of concern for the Jays. After a hot start in 2023, Davis Schneider cooled off significantly in 2024 with an 80 wRC+. With Bo Bichette returning from injury, Torres could step in as a stable presence in the infield. Additionally, his leadoff experience would be a welcome improvement for a team that ranked 28th in leadoff production with a .219 AVG and .648 OPS in 2024.

San Francisco Giants
The San Francisco Giants have struggled at second base, making Gleyber Torres a natural fit. In 2024, the Giants ranked 29th in MLB with a wRC+ of 57 and a third-worst OPS at .589 from their second basemen.

Current options like Tyler Fitzgerald and Casey Schmitt lack experience and consistency, making Torres an upgrade for a team aiming for postseason contention. Adding Torres would not only improve their infield but also provide a stable bat at the top of the lineup, where the Giants posted just a .704 OPS in 2024.
