Aaron Boone made the decision to shift Gleyber Torres from shortstop to second base late in the season, says New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman.
Cashman says there wasn't a single instance that led to the decision.
"Maybe through a lot of therapy I forgot and eliminated it, but ultimately once he moved over to second, it was almost a relief for him," Cashman said. "So I'm sure there was a buildup over the course of a week or a 10-day period that a few things happened and it was like we have to do something here.
"And that came from the manager's chair, and he did it. He just told me, 'This is what I think we've got to do, and we're going to do it,' and I said, 'No problem.'"
