The Yankees the New York and third baseman Gio Urshela agreed to a one-year contract for 2021 season worth $ 4.65 million to avoid arbitration. The Colombian receives a pay raise as a reward for his 2020 season when he hit .298 / .368 / .490 with six home runs and 30 RBI’s in 151 at-bats. He has been a very underrated player in recent years.
In 2020, Urshela made $ 2.4 million, so this time he will earn nearly double with the Bronx Bombers, where he will have his third season with that club, after two with Cleveland and one with the Toronto Blue Jays.
Urshela’s salary will nearly double from last year, and she won’t need a referee during the off-season after reaching a deal with the Yankees. He underwent surgery to remove a bone splint from his right elbow in early December, but it should be available for most of the spring training as long as he doesn’t experience any setbacks.
In two seasons with the NYY, 29-year old Giovanny Urshela has hit .310 with 27 homeruns and 104 CP in 175 games. His living average is .273 with 35 home runs and 143 RBIs.
