Torres played for the Detroit Tigers, Texas Rangers, New York Mets, and San Francisco Giants in Major League Baseball (MLB). Torres grew up in Puerto Rico before returning to the United States to attend Miami-Dade Community College.
He was a track star at Miami-Dade and didn't start playing baseball until later.
He was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the fourth round of the 1998 Major League Baseball draft in 1998.
Until 2002, Torres played in their minor leagues, when he made his Major League debut.
In 2003, he had a chance to be the Tigers' everyday center fielder, but the Tigers decided to move him after 23 games.
Before being outrighted to the minors and released on request, he only played three games for them in 2004.
Torres resurfaced with the Texas Rangers in 2005, but only played in eight games.
He spent three years in the minor leagues. Torres was back in the majors in 2009 as a reserve outfielder for the San Francisco Giants.
He made the team's first World Series appearance since 1954 as their everyday center fielder and leadoff hitter.
He was traded to the New York Mets after the 2011 season (in which Torres battled injuries and missed playing time in September).
He spent one season with the Mets, starting in center field for the majority of the season except for a stretch with Kirk Nieuwenhuis before re-signing with the Giants in 2013.
He was used in a platoon split with Gregor Blanco in 2013 before suffering a season-ending Achilles injury in August.
Torres signed a minor league contract with the Boston Red Sox in June but decided against doing so after not being notified.
