CINCINNATI — The Reds were one of the many teams that expressed interest in Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press.

Ultimately, the two-time All-Star signed a one-year deal with the Tigers worth $15 million. The Blue Jays, Guardians, Red Sox and Giants also expressed interest in the veteran.

Torres hit .257 with 15 home runs, 65 walks and 136 strikeouts across 154 games in his final season with New York Yankees, posting a .709 OPS.

Did the Reds want Torres to play third base? Were they serious about adding the All-Star?

Questions remain, but it is an interesting report. Torres ended up in Detroit, but will be a free agent next offseason.
