The Athletic’s Will Sammon reported on Sunday that the Yankees are showing interest in a reunion with infielder Gio Urshela. The 32-year-old is still unsigned after spending last season with the Los Angeles Angels.

Urshela played for the Yankees from 2019-21 and quickly became a fan favorite. He hit .314 with a .889 OPS during the 2019 campaign and also made a strong impact with his defensive versatility and his creative ways of contributing to winning baseball. Urshela earned further endearment with his grand slam against the Cleveland Guardians during Game 2 of the 2020 AL Wild Card series, which helped the Yankees pull off a sweep.

The righty-hitting Urshela still brings it with his bat (hitting .290 over the last two seasons combined) but is primarily a third baseman these days. Though the Yankees already have a glut of infielders who are capable of commanding the left side of the infield (like DJ LeMahieu, Oswald Peraza, Gleyber Torres, and Oswaldo Cabrera), Urshela could still be a valuable, complementary piece for them. They may have to fend off a rival team in free agency for Urshela though.
