Heyman: Mets resist trade interest in Luis Torrens

His extension keeps him under contract through 2028

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Jul 281 min read

What happened: The Chicago White Sox are among clubs targeting Luis Torrens before the trade deadline. New York acquired the catcher from the New York Yankees in 2024.

Why it matters: Torrens offers strong catcher defense and a right-handed bat at a position short on deadline upgrades. Keeping him preserves proven depth behind Francisco Alvarez, who has missed ample time with injuries.

By the numbers: In 203 games for the Mets since 2024, Torrens has hit .239/.297/.344 and produced 3.5 fWAR. FanGraphs' Defensive Runs Above Average ranks him sixth among MLB catchers over that span.

What to watch: Chicago has until Aug. 3 at 6 p.m. ET to turn its interest into a deal.
