Gary Sanchez is playing his former team this week with the Twins hosting the Yankees, and some of his former teammates clearly miss him in New York.
Gleyber Torres and Nestor Cortes Jr. embraced Sanchez on the field during batting practice on Wednesday, and Torres didn’t want to let go when he hugged his former teammate and fellow Baby Bomber prospect.

Both experienced similar trajectories in New York, as both had incredible seasons in their first two years as a pro, then experienced stark declines. But Torres seems to be finding his old ways, while Sanchez has been heating up in his new home after being traded in the offseason.
Sanchez told reporters on Tuesday that his teammates were among what he missed the most about the Yankees, and the feeling is clearly mutual.
