Latest Rumor: Yankees Interested In Reunion With Former Third Baseman

In addition to solid pitching, we need some hitters because Juan Soto alone isn’t going to cut it. The Yankees are interested in a reunion with Gio Urshela, find the details HERE. He may not be that bright shiny stud we have been hoping for all winter BUT the guy can hit and was consistent when he was with us. 

Hindsight is 20-20, but now that Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Josh Donaldson are gone it’s another example of how dumb Brian Cashman is. Donaldson was never a good move and most of us hated it as soon as the trade happened. Nothing against IKF, he did everything we asked of him but getting rid of Urshela made the Yankees weaker.

In two seasons since Urshela was traded he batted .290 with 54 extra-base hits, including 15 home runs, 88 RBI and four stolen bases. This is the kind of production the Yankees desperately need. He may not be a shiny superstar, but we don’t need a lineup of superstars, just guys that can hit. We have a bunch of guys that don’t hit or score runs. 

If the Yankees have no other big moves in their back pocket, this could be a good move for the Yankees. I still want a big splash, but I don’t think the Yankees will do it. This does help improve the team and we know what Urshela can do. Of course, there are other teams interested, the Mets, Angels and Marlins but it is believed the Angels and Marlins have made better offers.

Hopefully Urshela wants to come back home. It wouldn’t be the move I dreamed of, but we’ve always loved Urshela.
