Torres called up, and more top prospects could soon follow
The latter part of April is a good time to check in on some of baseball's top prospects.
The New York Yankees hope they have a good one in Gleyber Torres.
Torres made his anticipated debut for the Yankees on Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays, and although the 21-year-old infielder went hitless , his arrival drew plenty of attention. Torres' promotion occurred late enough that he isn't eligible for free agency until after the 2024 season. It made sense for his major league debut to come now, especially after he hit .347 at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
A few other top prospects remain in the minors, but they're also worth keeping an eye on:
—Ronald Acuna, Braves. Acuna hit .
