Former “Yankee” Update: Ronald Torreyes

This is a bit of an awkward former Yankees update isn’t it? Especially when we are updating on someone who was only technically and never physically a Yankees player. The New York Yankees filled their 40 man roster with the trade of Rob Segedin and a player to be named later or cash considerations to the Los Angeles Dodgers for LHP Tyler Olson and infielder Ronald Torreyes. Both would have been invited to Yankees spring training camp this season but Torreyes unfortunately won’t be able to make it to George M. Steinbrenner Field this year.

Torreyes, before being on the team officially a week and long before ever donning the Yankees pinstripes, was designated for assignment by the Yankees and placed on waivers for the second time in less than two weeks. Torreyes has been in DFA limbo until the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim claimed him today adding him to their organization.

Good luck to one of the shortest-tenured “Yankees” in the history of the team.
