Gleyber Torres seems to be enjoying himself with his new team in Detroit.
The former Yankee had a sour exit from The Bronx after struggling on the field, clashing with the organization and losing much of his support from fans.
Now, the 28-year-old is the everyday second baseman for the American League’s top team and just received an All-Star starter nod for the first time in his career.
“To all fans: I want to express my gratitude for all the support you have given me during this season,” Torres posted on X. “I’ve never felt that support more strongly than now after the starting position players have been announced for the 2025 All-Star Game. I’m so proud to have been voted the starting second baseman for the American League All-Star team by you, the fans.”
After Torres’ seven-year Yankees stint came to an end, general manager Brian Cashman told YES Network that he wanted Torres to move to third base so Jazz Chisholm Jr. could play second, but Torres was “unwilling” to make the switch.
“I feel I deserve to be with an organization that wants me,” Torres told The Post’s Dan Martin during spring training. “I’m here now and that’s the reason I’m here.”
Asked if he felt he was no longer wanted by the Yankees, Torres said, “I don’t know. Maybe you can ask him.”
That may have been a wise choice by Torres, with the fact that he’s now getting recognition as the AL’s top second baseman by way of fan voting and is a top contributor on what some consider to be the best team in MLB.
While Torres fell out of favor with many Yankees figures and fans, Detroit seems to have welcomed him with open arms.
Tigers fans stuffed the ballot boxes for their players, as Torres is one of three starters for Detroit in the All-Star Game — tied with the Dodgers for the most of any single team.
Rising superstar Riley Greene and — perhaps the league’s best comeback story — Javier Báez were the Tigers’ other starting selections.
“This has been a team effort, with [the fans] giving me that push, both in the good times as well as the difficult ones,” Torres continued in his social media post. “I’m also thankful for the support from my manager, my coaches and teammates who, together with the rest of the staff, have made this an extremely exciting 2025 season with the Detroit Tigers.
“When I take the field on July 15th, all of you will be there with me.”
Torres is hitting a career-high .279 with nine home runs and 43 RBI.
His OPS sat at .811 entering Thursday’s game against the Nationals.
While it’s his first time as a starter, Torres made the All-Star team as a reserve back-to-back years in 2018-19.
