The New York Yankees have agreed to a contract with outfielder/first baseman Nick Torres, per a team announcement from Algodeneros Union Laguna. Talkin' Yanks later confirmed the report, stating that the 2025 Mexican League MVP had indeed signed with the Yankees. It is worth noting that the Yankees have yet to announce the signing. He is originally from California and last appeared in a game with a big league organization in 2018. In 2025, Torres found no shortage of success in the Mexican League, ultimately hitting .347/.425/.730 across 86 games played. Torres added 27 home runs, 32 doubles and 79 RBI. Assuming the deal becomes official, Torres could end up impacting the big league squad in 2026. His versatility as someone who can play first base or the outfield would give Yankees manager Aaron Boone a number of options. It remains to be seen if Torres will even start the season in MLB, but he may be able to receive an opportunity at some point in 2026.

A Monster Season South of the Border

Torres is coming off a career-defining campaign with the Algodoneros de Unión Laguna, where he absolutely demolished opposing pitching. The 32-year-old slashed .347/.425/.730 with 27 home runs and 79 RBIs in just 86 games, posting a video-game-like 1.155 OPS. His offensive dominance was comprehensive; he led the league in OPS, tied for the lead in doubles (32) and extra-base hits (65), and finished second in total bases. This level of production suggests that Torres has tapped into a new level of power and discipline that the Yankees are eager to test against MLB-caliber pitching.

The Yankees can now say they’ve added another veteran MVP to their roster – well, sort of.

The club has seemingly agreed to a contract with reigning Mexican League MVP and outfielder Nick Torres. While a deal hasn’t been confirmed by the club, Algodoneros Unión Laguna , Torres' Mexican League team, bid farewell to their star in a social media post on Saturday, wishing the 32-year-old luck and to “keep growing and fulfill one more dream” as a member of the Yankees.
Torres, a California native selected by the Padres in the fourth round of the 2014 draft, hasn’t played in an MiLB-affiliated game since 2018.

The righty-swinger climbed the minor-league ranks between 2014-18, but never received a promotion to the majors. Working as a corner outfielder and first baseman in the Padres and Rangers systems, he played in 212 Double-A games and 71 Triple-A games, hitting a combined .267.

Torres joined the Mexican League in 2019, and in his most recent campaign, he slashed a robust .347/.425/.730 with 27 home runs and 79 RBI across 86 games for Unión Laguna.
Since 2021, he's hit .343 with a 1.025 OPS for the Mexican League club.

Torres, who spent the past several years with Algodoneros Unión Laguna, was announced as a new Yankees signee by his former club, which praised the slugger's impact and growth before his move to New York. The signing comes as the Yankees continue to evaluate their options at first base amid a relatively low-key offseason.

The New York Yankees have made their second offseason signing so far who did not play for the 2025 Yankees, and it's unclear what their intentions are for the newcomer.

Nick Torres, the 2025 Mexican League MVP, is a first baseman and corner outfielder with impressive batting stats, but has not played an affiliated minor league game since 2018. At 32 years old, whether Torres' skills translate to the MLB remains to be seen, but the Yankees have a few spots where he might be most useful if he can keep up.
