If the Baby Bomber era wasn't over yet, Gleyber Torres' signing with the Tigers effectively closed that chapter in the Bronx.
Here are Yankees prospects from the mid-2010s who were hoping to make the next great Yankees team.
miguel andujar
The 2018 American League Rookie of the Year runner-up is currently an outfielder with a league-average batting average for the Athletics.
greg bird
Bird, once a potential first baseman, last appeared in the majors in 2019 and has played in indy ball the past two years.
clint frazier
The Red Thunder had a great 2019-20 season, but then struggled with concussion issues, was either inactive or injured, and was out of baseball all of last season.
aaron judge
The Yankees captain looked like a bargain at $360 million.
Gary Sanchez
Although the catcher hasn't returned to his form as a two-time All-Star, he re-established himself as a major league catcher and signed a one-year contract with the Orioles.
Luis Severino
Injuries and a walk dud derailed his tenure with the Yankees, but Severino bounced back with the Mets last season and signed a contract with the Athletics worth $67 million.
Gleyber Torres
A roller coaster marriage with the Yankees that began at the 2016 trade deadline ended Friday when Torres became the Tigers' starting second baseman.
