The Cleveland Indians were right to let Gio Urshela go, but should they have let Andrew Velazquez go?

It has been well documented that the Cleveland Indians had third baseman Gio Urshela before he grew into the player he currently is with the New York Yankees. In 2017, Urshela was even the starting third baseman in the American League Division Series for Cleveland against the Yankees.

Urshela had just two hits and one RBI in the series, but his defense is the reason why he was on the field.
