According to Jack Curry, the New York Yankees have received questions about second baseman Gleyber Torres.

The MLB trade deadline in 2022, which is due to expire at 6 p.m., is running out of time for the Yankees. There is an hour and a half later.

New York has been busy over the last couple of days. The trades for Scott Effross and the Oakland A's were announced on Monday. The deal to send Joey Gallo to the Dodgers was received Tuesday.

On July 27th, the Bleacher Report speculated that the Yankees could include the outfielder in a package for the Nationals star. It's no longer possible with Soto going to the San Diego Padres.

It would take a bit of an aggressive offer to get him out of New York, since he shouldn't be considered "untouchable".

The 25-year-old has bounced back nicely after two disappointing seasons. He's batting.257 with 16 home runs and a.780 OPS.

Team control will be in place for two more years. That kind of cost control can help a franchise that is looking at potential free agents. It would cost a lot to re-sign both players.

The stock of the man was at its lowest point at that time. He has made a strong case for why he should stay with the Yankees.

The safest course of action is to hold onto him until the deadline.
