According to Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic, Torres has been the only guy taking reps at second base so far this week, which means the Tigers are basically handing him the keys and saying, “Go be that dude.” Detroit signed him to a one-year, $15 million deal, and if these early reports are any indication, he’s going to be locked into an everyday role, making him a fascinating fantasy option.
Last season, Torres hit leadoff 56 times and found himself in the five-hole 30 times, proving he can thrive in multiple lineup spots. Now, with the Tigers, if he secures the leadoff role, he could rack up runs like a kid stacking Halloween candy—a sneaky goldmine for fantasy managers. And if Detroit really lets him cook, he could deliver the kind of season that makes Yankees fans cry into their Derek Jeter bobbleheads.
So yeah, keep an eye on where the Tigers place him in spring training. Because if they put him at the top of the lineup and let him fly? Watch out, Yankees. Your ex is about to glow up.
