Gleyber Torres' postgame comments might put him back in Yankees doghouse

Leave it to the New York Yankees to dampen an incredible series win on the road against the Boston Red Sox to revive their season after a heinous 11-24 stretch. They captured the last two games of this weekend's series to finally take down their division rival in 2024.

But fans didn't get to bask in the glory long enough before being hit with another roster conundrum. The Yankees traded for Jazz Chisholm on Saturday and rumors have suggested he's going to get time at second base.

The only problem? Gleyber Torres is the second baseman right now, and he's very much not open to switching positions or logging reps elsewhere. Remember when he was "moved" to shortstop, which was the long-term plan for him all along? He failed miserably, complained, and then got his second base job back despite being undeserving.

Well, when asked about playing third base with Chisholm now in the fold, Torres quickly made fans forget about his clutch series against the Sox that propelled the Yankees to multiple season-saving victories.

Torres has certainly been the subject of excessive and sometimes unwarranted criticism, but most fans can agree he rarely ever does anything to help his case. And we have further proof.

And by "Yankees doghouse" we mean "gone before July 30 at 6 p.m. ET." The Yankees still have a number of roster issues to solve, and though Torres' recent stretch might have the front office feeling otherwise, perhaps that goodwill has been canceled out by his unwillingness to be flexible.

Torres has no leg to stand on, even in the midst of a contract year. It's not like his value as a full-time second baseman could get worse if he were moved around the infield. Did we mention he leads the entire league in errors at second base? He's made two in the last four games and he's lucky that the Yankees had a six-run lead when he decided to botch the most routine grounder you'll ever see on Sunday.

Some fans are genuinely shocked the organization has put up with Torres for this long, both with his cratering play and poor attitude. This is the same guy that was benched a month ago for a lack of hustle (which was sold under the guise of an "injury").

He's responded meaningfully after that, but proved yet again that he isn't the team player or momentous force the Yankees need to capture a World Series in 2024.

But don't worry, Boonie will accommodate his demands, whether they're worthy or not.
