BOSTON — First, Ramón Urías couldn’t find an avenue back into affiliated baseball from the Mexican League. Then, he couldn’t break through with the St. Louis Cardinals, who didn’t even think he could handle shortstop in Triple-A.
Now that he’s finally gotten his chance with the Orioles, the 27-year-old Urías is nearing the end of an impressive 2021 season in a sweet spot: satisfied with how he’s performed as an everyday player since the end of June but eager to show he’s even better next year when his lingering groin injury is healed.
“I believe that next year when I’m healthy, I can do better things and I’ll keep working and keep focus on what I’m doing, and I hope I can get a better season,” Urías said.
