The Yankees and Gleyber Torres didn’t have too much of a gap when they filed their arbitration salary numbers earlier this month, with Torres asking for $10.2 million and the team countering with $9.7 million.
The sides came together on Saturday on a one-year, $9.95 million contract. The Yankees announced the signing Sunday.
Torres, 26, hit .257 with 26 home runs, 74 RBIs and a .761 OPS in 2022. He will be eligible for free agency after the 2024 season.
