Gleyber Torres, the New York Yankees infielder entering his final year of contract for the 2024 season, has expressed a strong desire to stay with the team, stating, "I don’t want to leave here. I feel at home right now." He remains open to an extension, even considering a hometown discount, despite no current talks of an extension. Torres's commitment comes amid the Yankees' hesitancy, influenced by less successful deals with players like Severino and Hicks due to injuries. Speculation suggests that the Yankees could offer Torres a long-term deal with an annual average value (AAV) of $15-$17 million.

If Gleyber wants to be a Yankee bad enough I do not think it’s a foregone conclusion that he walks. Hometown discounts to exist to a degree. There is a world where the Yankees could very well keep Soto while giving Gleyber $15-$17M AAV over a long-term deal https://t.co/cQfAJClidI
