In return, the Yankees received a package of prospects that included a 19-year-old Venezuelan infielder who had not yet reached Double-A but who ranked as one of the most valuable position player prospects in the Chicago system. That infielder was Gleyber Torres. The 2016 Topps Bowman Draft Chrome set – released to capture the most promising young talent across the professional baseball landscape – issued his card as #BDC143, a prospect card with the chromium finish and refractor potential that Topps Bowman has made the standard for rookie and pre-rookie documentation in the hobby. This PSA 10 Gem Mint certified copy is a perfect-condition specimen of that prospect-era card from before Torres became a two-time All-Star in pinstripes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚾ Gleyber Torres was born on December 13, 1996, in Valencia, Venezuela, and signed with the Chicago Cubs as an international amateur before his 17th birthday. He moved rapidly through the Cubs minor league system, earning prospect recognition that put him near the top of the organization's depth chart, and the return he generated in the Chapman trade confirmed his standing as one of the most coveted infield prospects in the game. He debuted with the Yankees in 2018 and delivered immediate production: 24 home runs as a 21-year-old, a 2019 season that saw him hit 38 home runs from the shortstop position, and back-to-back All-Star selections in 2019 and 2021 that established him as one of the most productive young middle infielders in the American League. ⚾\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚾ The 2016 Topps Bowman Draft Chrome product is the collector's benchmark for prospect documentation – chrome finish, refractor parallels, and the Bowman brand that has launched more Hall of Fame trajectories than any other card product in the modern hobby. PSA 10 Gem Mint confirms the four corners, edges, surfaces, and centering that define condition perfection. Condition: NOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚾ Gleyber Torres. Valencia, Venezuela.
