Torrens was selected by the Reds with the second pick of Thursday's Rule 5 Draft, Baseball America reports. However, Baseball America Editor JJ Cooper believes he will be dealt to San Diego.

Torrens will officially be a Cincinnati Red for now, though it seems he could land in the Padres uniform in the near future. The 20-year-old backstop spent the 2016 season with the Yankees organization, posting a .687 OPS across multiple Class A levels. Regardless of his landing spot, Torrens would ultimately be returned to New York if he gets removed from the major league roster from whichever team he ends up with and clears waivers.
