Pinstripe Preview: Ronald Torreyes
After bouncing around in trades from many teams beginning in 2015, Ronald Torreyes, nicknamed “Toe” by Joe Girardi, seems to have found a home as a solid bench bat and utility man for the Yankees. Here’s a list of the trades: May 2015: Purchased by the Blue Jays from the Astros June 2015: Purchased by the Dodgers from the Blue Jays January 2016: Traded from the Dodgers to the Yankees in exchange for Rob Segedin January 2016 (2 weeks later): Claimed on waivers by the Angels from the Yankees February 2016 (6 days later): Claimed on waivers by the Yankees from the Angels Not gonna lie, that must have sucked. However, after making the Opening Day team, Torreyes (somehow) survived the entire regular season on the Yankees’ 25-man roster, and made himself known as a very useful player.
