New York Yankees and third baseman Gio Urshela agreed to a one – year contract for 2021 season worth $ 4.65 million to avoid refereeing. The Colombian receives a salary increase as a reward for his 2020 season, when he hit .298 / .368 / .490 with six rounds at home and 30 RBIs in 151 bats. He has been a very underrated player in recent years.
In 2020, Urshela pocketed $ 2.4 million, so this time she will win almost double with the Bronx Bombers, where she will spend her third season with that club, after two with Cleveland and one with the Toronto Blue Jays.
Urshela’s salary will almost double compared to last year and he will not need a referee during the season, after reaching an agreement with the Yankees. He underwent surgery in early December to remove a bone chip from his right elbow, but it should be available for most spring workouts as long as he does not face any obstacles.
In two seasons with NYY, 29-year-old Giovanny Urshela hit .310 with 27 home runs and 104 hp in 175 games. His life average is .273 with 35 homers and 143 RBIs.
