為國際自由球員要簽約加入美職系統的時候，小熊打敗洋基，Torres選擇跟小熊簽約。

這筆交易在Chapman那一邊大家知道在Chapman在當年協助小熊拿下睽違已久的世界大賽冠

明星的身份從2016年Chapman交易案的配角躍升成為大聯盟全明星，並且正在協助洋基重
返季後賽。

Gleyber Torres went from trade chip to All-Star in just two years

The old saying goes, "Good things come to those who wait." It fails to specify
how long that wait has to be, but Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has to
be quite content with the small amount of time he had to wait for rookie sens
ation Gleyber Torres.

New York had begun its 2016 season with high hopes following an appearance in
the 2015 American League Wild Card Game. But a middling 44-44 first half left
them 5 1/2 games out of a postseason spot and forced them to re-evaluate their
place in the AL hierarchy -- for the first time in decades, the Yankees became
sellers at the Trade Deadline.

Closer Aroldis Chapman was the first big name to go, and Cashman found a taker
in the Cubs, who were looking for a final addition to bolster their eventual 2
016 World Series run. The cost for a closer of Chapman's caliber was high, but
on July 25, the Cubs ultimately agreed to acquire him in exchange for a four-
player package highlighted by Torres, their top prospect.

Cashman had long coveted Torres. The Cubs beat the Yankees to signing Torres w
hen he was a 16-year-old international free agent in 2013, and in just a few y
ears, he rocketed up the prospect rankings.

MLB Pipeline had Torres as the No. 24 prospect in baseball and the best Minor
Leaguer in the Cubs' system at the time. Even down in the Carolina League, he
was opening eyes:

The Cubs, of course, got their long-awaited championship in 2016 with Chapman.
Few fans would give back the feeling of finally seeing them win it all. But To
rres was quick to make a name for himself in the Yankees' organization.

Torres finished the year with the Tampa Yankees before going on to steal the s
how in the Arizona Fall League, becoming the youngest player in AFL history to
win MVP honors. A hot start in 2017 with Double-A Trenton led to a promotion
to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre at age 20, and he might very well have made
it to The Show that season had an errant slide not forced him to undergo seaso
n-ending surgery in June.

When Torres returned in 2018, he was ready. He hit .347 with a .903 OPS in 14
games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and the Yankees called him up for his MLB de
but on April 22. Soon, he was entrenched in the Yankees' lineup at second base
.

In just 63 first-half games, Torres crushed 15 homers with a .905 OPS. Beforee
ven the second anniversary of the trade, he was a part of the MLB All-Star fe
stivities in 2018, cheering on Yankees teammate Aaron Judge:

Now, he'll play a pivotal role on a Yankees team eyeing a return to the postse
ason, all while matching dance moves with shortstop Didi Gregorius. That's a T
rade Deadline success story.
