Yankees Trade Prize Sounds Off on Ongoing Struggles

Struggles With Yankees

In a recent interview, Gio Urshela, who was traded from the New York Yankees to the Minnesota Twins in March, opened up about his struggles with the Yankees. Urshela said that he was "frustrated" with his role in New York and that he felt he was not given a fair chance to succeed.

Urshela was acquired by the Yankees from the Toronto Blue Jays in 2018. He quickly became a fan favorite in New York, hitting .314 with 21 home runs in 2019. However, Urshela's production declined in 2020 and 2021, and he was eventually traded to the Twins.

Urshela's Comments

In his interview, Urshela said that he was "frustrated" with his role in New York. He said that he felt he was not given a fair chance to succeed and that he was often platooned with other players.

Urshela also said that he was unhappy with the Yankees' decision to sign Josh Donaldson in the offseason. Donaldson was signed to play third base, Urshela's position. Urshela said that he felt the Yankees did not believe in him and that he was not given a fair chance to compete for the starting job.

The Yankees have not publicly commented on Urshela's comments. However, it is clear that Urshela is unhappy with the way he was treated in New York. It remains to be seen if Urshela's comments will have any impact on the Yankees' future plans.
