The New York Yankees continued their planning for the 2024 Major League season, and so the board, needing a tool for its infield, studied the return of Bronx Colombian Gio Ursula.

As part of a report by journalist Jon Morosi, Urshela will enter the Yankees’ plans for 2024, taking advantage of the fact that he is a player who already knows the team, having joined it for three seasons between 2019 and 2021.

The shortstop performed in those years defensively and offensively, leaving a batting average of.292, with 153 runs batted in and 41 home runs in 175 games. His participation would be greater if the 2020 campaign were not interrupted by the policies of COVID-19.

Although Urshela is an integral part of the everyday squad used by manager Aaron Boone, in 2022, part of the trade with the Minnesota Twins for Josh Donaldson ended up being one of the biggest failures of the Yankee Board in recent years.

The Yankees may find themselves in need of Urshela because of his versatility, especially at third base. In addition to being able to play shortstop, second base, and even first base, the Mules currently don’t have a natural third baseman to protect the base.

Regarding his 2023 campaign, Urshela saw action with the Los Angeles Angels, although he was limited to 62 games due to a pelvic injury he suffered for most of the campaign.

Despite this, Urshela finished with a.299 average, 24 RBIs, and two home runs in 214 plate appearances.

It is the responsibility of the Yankees to negotiate with Urshela, who, according to specialized transfer portals, has a market value of $7.7 million and whom I will ask for a deal for at least two years and 14 million dollars.
