In 2018, the Yankees looked to be in good shape with their future, having two players in Miguel Andujar and Gleyber Torres, finishing 2nd and 3rd in the AL Rookie of the Year voting behind Shohei Ohtani. Now, both players aren’t on the team.
Hoping for a replacement that’s more from the mold of a Randolph or Sax, over a Cano or Torres. Give me talent AND heart any day over these talented yet heartless players.
Cano played 160 games a year and played great offense and defense. I didn't like the jogging out routine groundballs from him but comparing any of those 3 players to Cano is a joke. Hell even comparing Sax to Randolph is an insult to Randolph who was a really good underrated player.
Randolph was and will always be "the man." Very consistent. Knoblauch was pretty good too for the 4-years he was there, sans the 98' gm 2 bone head play at 1st in the 12th. But Randolph was Monument Park great period, that's why he's there - look up his stats.
Maybe Torres bad habits do not show up if Girardi was still managing instead of Bubbles. This current Yankees team does not play clean crisp baseball, and that all rests on management both Cashman and Bubbles. It is nice to see Torres leave.
Torres his first 2 years was a franchise cornerstone. He would have gotten a big time extension if he kept it up. But after that he regressed and became Homer happy with poor effort and mental lapses. If he progressed he would have been inked to a mega deal years ago
That juiced ball season ruined his offensive approach long term. Only after he got benched did he figure out something. But the baseball iq regarding the defensive and on base aspect of his game never got better either unfortunately.
Detroit signing names to draw people to the ballpark rather than real stars. The one thing everyone talks about is the Yankees collapse in Game 5 in the World Series, but the Series was lost in Game 1 when Gleyber muffed a simple throw in from right field that allowed Ohtani to take third and eventually score to tie the game. If not for that error the Yankees win Game 1 and go home 1-1 instead of down 0-2 and the Series would've looked far different.
no they benched him for hitting like my grandmother for 2 and a half seasons. They didn't bench him for being lazy or even for being terrible for one year. If he was even halfway decent he never would have been benched.
@ you are correct but what I said was part of it. In particular, and check it, he made a dumb base running, he forgot there weren’t two outs. Anyway, his bad hitting was the main reason… and I purport that laziness is the reason for that lack of good at bats.
All these lazy ball players are the result of overpaid bums being babied by managers and other players. Most of these players dont have the balls to call out these lazy players.
I have no regrets about letting Gleyber walk, he didn't run hard, hustle or field particularly well...I hope he has success, but I grew tired of watching his lackadaisical attitude...even if successful, won't miss him
Based on what exactly? Volpe hustles all the time. He doesn't make a bunch of mental errors. He doesn't get picked off because he isn't paying attention. You need to have some actual.reasoning for saying things. And literally nothing in Volpes play or manner should lead anyone to think he was going to stop caring.
I'm ok with this!! Lack of heart, too lazy, undisciplined, everyday focus, and not being motivated enough is why he is no longer a Yankee! He had so much time to right the ship, I guess it was not that important! I do not understand why Brian kept him this long!
If he is smart he will get rid of the cement glove he has been using and buy a leather one. Also, some time in the gym over the winter wouldn’t hurt him either.
Not me, because if he did well, it would mean he actually started making an effort. And if he suddenly starts making an effort for another team, all I will be is even more pissed he wouldn't try for us. Screw that guy. I hope he continues being exactly who he is and is out of the league rapidly. He wastes his talent and doesn't deserve to be there.
If Boone doesn't switch Volpe and Gleyber in the lineup after the team's unbelievable start they both finish with batting averages thirty points higher
I could finish the sentence with 2 words. Anyone saying Gleyber is lazy, I'll tell you this... You're correct. Didn't take much effort at all, which would mean it still was probably too much for Gleyber to give.
Seeing a Pat Kelly mention in 2024 was not what I expected. I actually remember watching him when he was on the Albany Colonies Yankees (AA). Him, Bernie and Gerald Williams were all there together.
Year after year I had being saying that Torres has ADD like kids,his reaction for baseball was very poor.Now the Tigers possibly will have his poor performance.
I think no more fielders put it best in the replacing Jeter video talking about Gleyber all his best production was against the worst of the worst Baltimore teams
Everyone claiming he didn't give effort when he's the only player who got better and while Volpe is the only Yankee to genuinely hustle since Girardi left
Idiotic take. Judge is called injury prone because his max effort style of defensive play led to him getting seriously hurt like 4 or 5 times. And we aren't "claiming" he gave low effort, any more than I'm claiming 2+2=4. It is fact. We are just stating a fact.
@@snerdterguson what a feeble attempt to sound even remotely intelligent. "Like 4 or 5 times" lmao stfu more like once. Go root on the real "hustlers" like Verdugo Lemahieu Stanton Grisham and Cole you front runner
Even if he performs, any team would make a mistake to believe 2025 numbers. He will revert back to lazy as Gleyber. Thank god the Yankees finally decided to let go of him because he was a net negative to the effort and energy in that dugout
This shows that reputation is legit and matters a ton! There is a reason Trea turner, max fried, willy adams’s, etc got their money. The baseball world knows how lazy Gleybor is and refused to offer anything competitive.
Adios Gleyber. Galatians 6:7 & the 6th Hermetic Principle have aligned for you AND the Tiger's. So, in memory of Abbot & Costello, What's on second? For that matter, between Goldschmidt, Rizzo, Caberra, Rice and whoever I'm missing, who's on first?!
No he wouldn't be. You still need to make an effort there. Now if there was a position where you could just stand still without making any movement at all and not need to be paying attention... That's the place for him.
The Tigers have the worst GM in baseball. Its next to impossible to watch the tigers with how they play..using openers and platoon hitters. Constant signing 1 year contracts hoping you trade the asset at the trade deadline is awful way of running a team especially for a fan.
Do you think he wasn't hungry for a new contract heading into the last season? Not sure why people think suddenly he's going to be a completely different player of on what he's always been.
Why is not retaining a low effort player make it a bad day for real Yankee fans? From my perspective, if you wanted Gleyber to return, you didn't want to win. And that means YOU aren't a real fan.
wow, Baez AND Torres anchoring the middle infield? Baez got paid and mailed it in since and Torres, wearing pinstripes no less, mailed it in waaaay to often. Tigers are stockpiling fading, unmotivated talent, i guess....
1 year 15 million isn't prove us wrong money. The 1 year part of the deal is the prove us wrong. He's worth no more than 5 a year. I wouldn't have paid him at all if I was a GM. A rookie would hustle more than this guy and id rather play that.
Who is giving an excuse for Gleyber? He made minimal effort, made constant errors and was rarely paying attention to the game when he was on base. How on earth is it pathetic to be glad he's gone, which is what probably 99% of fans are?
He cost the Yankees game one. Literally the sole reason they lost that game was his lazy play. I don't care if he was decent at the plate. You can't give an effort in the world series, you're never going to be a guy who gives an effort.
@ ok and? Cole judge and volpe cost us game 5. Are Yankee fans off the volpe train now? Are we regretting to judge Cole contract? No. Ya think Cody and goldy are a replacement for Soto and Gleyber? Better hope the pitching carries us to the ws, but chances are we aren’t beating the dodgers or the Mets to actually win the ws.
Judge didn't cost us the game because he was lazy. And that inning was a cacophony of errors. Gleyber literally cost us a game because he was too lazy and non chasing to catch a relay throw. Do you really not see the difference?
@@snerdterguson there is no difference. Gleybers and sotos error costed 1 run sure but that error from judge opened the flood gates for like 5 runs. Also Cole’s error was lazy but hey we don’t care do we. Also Torres was a better play in the postseason than judge lol.
I'm the guy always blasting fans for booing players. You are mind numbingly wrong. Expecting a person paid millions to make an effort is not asking much. Being glad he's gone is not being ungrateful. It is being a reasonable person. His laziness cost us game one of the world series. If you're ok with that, you aren't actually a fan.
Sounds like Spin Rate Scotty and Trust Fund Chrissy's kind of guy. All of the signings thus far, are one year deals, both Minor and Major League contracts. Chris Illitch is the NEW William Clay Ford. Trust Fund kids are NEVER hungry.
Prove us wrong is the perfect way to put it grunt!
Why aren't you pissed? What's wrong with you Tigers fan. seriously.
@@TH-camIsATerribleMedium because it's a one year deal. If he does bad, they can just release him as its not too big of a deal.
Its a no risk contract its crazy that he got a 1 year deal only lmaoo he was so lazy with the Yankees @tusla27
Players “dogging it” is all the result of management. Can you imagine Torres jogging to first and playing for Billy Martin or Ralph Houk?
THANK YOU! I am with ya 100% on that. NO WAY he'd get away with that shit with either of those managers. Does start from the top.
His lack of effort cost him millions. Has the talent but lacks the desire.
Like the dodgers scouts said “talent over fundamentals”
Hes probably thinking: "15M who cares i don't even want to spend more mthat would take more effort Ill be fine"
I hate that kind of player in any sport.
How many millions are enough?
Perfectly said. Just doesn’t want it.
The world series jogging was when he was dead to me
There’s so many low effort, low IQ plays from Gleyber over the years. I wish him well, but I’m glad not to have to watch him on a daily basis.
In 2018, the Yankees looked to be in good shape with their future, having two players in Miguel Andujar and Gleyber Torres, finishing 2nd and 3rd in the AL Rookie of the Year voting behind Shohei Ohtani. Now, both players aren’t on the team.
Refuses to play anywhere other than second base and doesn’t hustle. I don’t see how this guy fits into Hinch’s rotating scheme.
Hoping for a replacement that’s more from the mold of a Randolph or Sax, over a Cano or Torres. Give me talent AND heart any day over these talented yet heartless players.
I'm an old man. Randolph one of my favorites. Solid on both sides of the ball.
One who at least has the decency to run the bags.
Cano played 160 games a year and played great offense and defense. I didn't like the jogging out routine groundballs from him but comparing any of those 3 players to Cano is a joke.
Hell even comparing Sax to Randolph is an insult to Randolph who was a really good underrated player.
@ Gleyber is no Cano, not even close. Robbie was no hustler either but was a force.
Randolph was and will always be "the man." Very consistent. Knoblauch was pretty good too for the 4-years he was there, sans the 98' gm 2 bone head play at 1st in the 12th. But Randolph was Monument Park great period, that's why he's there - look up his stats.
Maybe Torres bad habits do not show up if Girardi was still managing instead of Bubbles. This current Yankees team does not play clean crisp baseball, and that all rests on management both Cashman and Bubbles. It is nice to see Torres leave.
@@scott658 It all starts at the top. It is management’s job to make it work - or at least get the most out of the talent.
He caught Robinson Cano disease. Must be something in the dirt between 1st and 2nd base. Hoping the next guy doesn't catch it as well.
he's so lazy and Boone just sits there and allows it.
been watching him from the start absolutely frustrating to watch because he has the tools
Huge Yankees fan. Glad to see him go. Lazy and poor defender.
I have a Dream! To watch Gleyber, in a Tigers uniform, lift the ALCS Trophy at Yankee stadium in 2025
Soto lack of husle towards that hit ball at the wall by Teo in game 5 in the WS was
Massive.
That was in game 1 of the World Series
@Frankieefootballmundial yup
Thanks.
A.J. Hinch probably feels that he can breathe life back into Gleyber.
SEE YA TORRES A WELL EARNED 1 YEAR DEAL
His "walk" year has earned him... one more year
I’m glad he’s gone. Grunt what’s your real name btw?

Adios- should’ve traded him at the deadline so we could at least have gotten something for him
They could have traded him for castillo 3 years ago . Burns me up
First two years he looked like a budding superstar. To say the preceding he was a liability is a complete understatement. Thank God he is gone!!!
Tigers never learn. Now they’ve got both Baez & Gleyber😂 Two lazy dogs.
Torres his first 2 years was a franchise cornerstone. He would have gotten a big time extension if he kept it up. But after that he regressed and became Homer happy with poor effort and mental lapses. If he progressed he would have been inked to a mega deal years ago
And maybe would’ve been better than soto
That juiced ball season ruined his offensive approach long term. Only after he got benched did he figure out something. But the baseball iq regarding the defensive and on base aspect of his game never got better either unfortunately.
The oley bs in game 1 that gave Ohtani an extra 90’ showed me all I needed to know about this lazy, sloppy ball player. Good riddance to this bum.
I wish him the best of luck but I’m glad he’s gone because his defense cost us a lot of games he needed to leave so yeah that’s basically it
His defense cost them game 1

Above average physical talent, loses concentration and makes too many dumb
mistakes.
Bon voyage, great talent, no baseball instincts or hustle. Too bad too lazy.
People were too quick to crown Gleyber as the second coming of Jeter after his first 2 seasons, the last 5 years showed he clearly isn't that guy.
I think it might happen with volpe
Based on what exactly? Volpe hustles all the time. He doesn't make a bunch of mental errors. He doesn't get picked off because he isn't paying attention.
