The New York Yankees and third baseman Gio Urshela have reportedly settled on a $2.475 million contract for the 2020 season. By the agreement, the two sides avoid arbitration.

The righty from Cartagena, Colombia had his breakout MLB season in 2019, batting .314 with 21 home runs and 74 RBIs. He became the starting third baseman after the injury to Miguel Andujar. However, those two will now have to battle for the 2020 starting spot in the spring. His defense is gold glove caliber and a crucial part to the team.

Other players with arbitration news will be published as we know it.
