If the Baby Bomber era were not already over, Gleyber Torres signing with the Tigers effectively closes that chapter in The Bronx.
Here is a look at the mid-2010s Yankees prospects who hoped to form the next great Yankees teams:
Miguel Andujar
The AL Rookie of the Year runner-up in 2018 is now a roughly league-average-hitting outfielder for the A’s.
Greg Bird
Once the first baseman of the future, Bird last appeared in the majors in 2019 and has spent time in Indy Ball the past two years.
Clint Frazier
“Red Thunder” was excellent in 2019-20, either ineffective or injured as he struggled through concussion issues afterward, and spent all of last season out of affiliated baseball.
Aaron Judge
The Yankees captain has looked like a $360 million bargain.
Gary Sanchez
The catcher has not returned to his two-time All-Star ways, but he has re-established himself as a major-league catcher and signed a one-year deal with the Orioles.
Luis Severino
Injuries and a walk-year dud derailed his Yankees tenure, but Severino bounced back last season with the Mets and landed a deal that could be worth $67 million with the A’s.
Gleyber Torres
A roller-coaster marriage with the Yankees that started at the 2016 trade-deadline ended Friday, when Torres became the Tigers’ starting second baseman.
