Gio Urshela Traded to Angels from Twins for Pitching Prospect Alejandro Hidalgo

The Minnesota Twins have traded third baseman Gio Urshela to the Los Angeles Angels for right-handed pitching prospect Alejandro Hidalgo, the team announced Friday.

ESPN's Jeff Passan first reported the news.

Urshela, who turned 31 years old in October, hit .285 (.767 OPS) with 13 home runs and 64 RBI this season.

He just completed his seventh MLB season and first with the Twins after the New York Yankees traded Urshela in a five-player deal last year that notably brought Josh Donaldson to the Bronx.

Urshela is eligible for arbitration this offseason.
