Yuli Gurriel the missing piece to NY Yankees

While the yankees They are desperately looking to trade Josh Donaldson and Aaron Hicks before the start of the 2023 MLB season, according to Bob Nightengale, a writer for USA Today Sports, a current elite free agent could be the Key piece New York is missing for the next tournament.

That player who could fit perfectly in the Bronx Bombers roster is the Cuban Yuli Gurrielwho during his seven seasons with the Astros, demonstrated his great talent not only offensively, but also defending first base, when in 2021 he won the Gold Glove and was awarded the batting champion.

Yuli could be a good alternative for the Yankees, especially since, like DJ LeMahieu, she is a very versatile player capable of playing almost all positions in the infield (1B/2B/3B). For the little outside of him, his ability to hit all over the field would make him a candidate to land in the Big Apple.

At the moment it is only known that two teams are seriously interested in signing “La Piña”. According to sources, the Minnesota Twins and Miami Marlins have shown signs of signing the 38-year-old veteran from Sancti Spiritus.

In seven years as a major league player, Gurriel is hitting .284 with 94 home runs and 435 RBIs. He was a two-time World Series champion with Houston (2017, 2022).
