 * "Free agent" can be wikilinked in the first sentence, for the benefit of those unfamiliar with baseball.
 * Done.
 * The article seems to somewhat abruptly jump from age 7 to Torreyes being signed by the MLB. Is there any information that can be added here to reduce the gap?
 * It's difficult to find information on the childhoods of international players, because they tend not to get the "hometown interviews" that American and Canadian players do, but I added another sentence from the MLB.com article.
 * "On December 23, 2011, the Reds traded Torreyes, Travis Wood, and Dave Sappelt to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for..." Chicago Cubs can be wikilinked here.
 * Done and removed the WL further down. AWB issue.
 * "He was the second-youngest man on the roster, older only than Luis Severino," How old was Torreyes at this time?
 * Clarified and added a source.
 * Thank you for your quick review; everything should be addressed now. —  Ghost River  00:38, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
