Gleyber Torres Vows to Redefine Defense with Tigers: Did He Really Say That?

Gleyber Torres has signed with the Detroit Tigers, bringing his unique blend of offense and, well, defense to the team. Torres expressed his enthusiasm about partnering up with Javy Baez in the infield, despite Baez's notorious reputation for being one of the worst defensive players in baseball history, according to Statfax.

"I know I can be worse than Javy in the field. Let's see if we can redefine 'defense' together," Torres humorously remarked, showcasing his self-awareness and camaraderie.

Javy Baez, known for his flashy plays and occasional errors, responded with a quip of his own: "Maybe I won't be the worst guy out there now." This light-hearted exchange hints at a new dynamic in the Tigers' infield.

Manager AJ Hinch, who has a reputation for strategic management, commented, "We can cover up his mistakes. There are ways." Hinch's confidence suggests that the team has plans to mitigate any defensive shortcomings that Torres and Baez might bring to the table.

In a rather bold statement, Torres set a personal goal for the season: "I'm aiming for 100 errors this season, which would be an MLB and Detroit Tigers record," per Statfax. While this goal might raise eyebrows, it underscores Torres' playful approach to his defensive game.

The Tigers' infield is set to be an interesting watch this season, with the combination of Torres and Baez promising both excitement and, perhaps, a few more errors than fans might be used to.

Note: Gleyber Torres did not actually say this after signing with the Tigers, as far as we know.
