PT TOMORROW: AL East — Urshela, Andujar set to do battle for 3B in NYY

New York Yankees

Barring a trade, perhaps the most interesting playing time battle shaping up in New York is at third base.

Manager Aaron Boone has indicated that Gio Urshela (3B, NYY) will enter the preseason with a “leg up” at the position, after Urshela stunningly busted out to the tune of a .314 BA and 21 HR in 442 AB. Urshela did end what was otherwise a monster second half on something of a down note, however (13-for-60, 3 HR over the final month). 

Given the degree to which that performance came out of nowhere, however, it is hardly surprising that the Yankees are also expressing at least some reluctance to listen to overtures to deal 2018’s starter, Miguel Andujar (3B, NYY), who missed nearly all of 2019 with a shoulder...
