TAMPA, Fla. — Gleyber Torres has spent his late mornings and early afternoons taking balls on a high school infield over the last week. He’s working on his defense at both shortstop and second base these days with his position with the Yankees uncertain.
The Yankees gave up on him at short in September, but did nothing to address their shortstop issue before the owners locked the players out, shutting down the business of baseball.
It leaves them with an infield that is unsettled and perhaps unsettling defensively.
