the New York Yankees and forward Gio Urshela agreed to a one – year contract for the 2021 season worth $ 4.65M to avoid refereeing. The Colombian receives a salary increase as a reward for his 2020 season when he beat 298/368/490 with six homers and 30 RBIs in 151 batting innings. He has been a much underrated player in recent years.
In 2020, Urshela pocketed 2.4 MDD so this time he will win almost double with the Bronx Bombers, where he will live his third campaign with this club, after two with Cleveland and one with the Toronto Tiles.
Urshela’s salary will almost double over last year, and he won’t need a referee during the offseason after reaching an agreement with the Yankees. He underwent surgery in early December to remove a splinter of bone from his right elbow, but it should be available for most of spring training as long as there are no mishaps.
In two seasons with the NYYs, 29-year-old Giovanny Urshela has beaten 310 with 27 home runs and 104 CP in 175 games. For life his average walks at 273 with 35 homers and 143 tows.
