Torres was arrested in December 2017 and accused of brandishing a handgun during a dispute and pointing it at his wife. He was also accused of knocking a door off its hinges at their Phoenix home and punching a hole in another door.

The Padres released Torres in October.

As a rookie in 2017, Torres pitched 68 1/3 innings with a 4.21 ERA and 63 strikeouts.
