Torrens signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Thursday.
Analysis: Torrens bounced around between four different organizations last season, managing to record seven hits and four RBI in just 28 big-league at-bats. He figures to operate as organizational depth in Triple-A but could see time in the majors should New York struggle to find production from behind the dish.
Luis Torrens Elects free agency
Torrens elected to become a free agent Friday.
Analysis: Torrens was pushed off the Mariners' 40-man roster Tuesday and opted to reject an outright assignment to Triple-A Tacoma. He's a career .227/.289/.354 hitter in 807 major-league plate appearances, but the 27-year-old could get a look as catching depth with some other organization.
