Gio Urshela reaches $6.55M deal with New York Yankees; Domingo German agrees to $1.75M

NEW YORK -- Infielder Gio Urshela agreed to a $6.55 million, one-year contract with the New York Yankees on Tuesday, while starting pitcher Domingo German agreed to $1.75 million and pitcher Lucas Luetge to $905,000.

New York also released infielder Chris Gittens, who plans to sign with a team in Japan.

The slick-fielding Urshela hit .267 with 14 homers and 49 RBIs. He mostly played third base but shifted to shortstop in the final weeks of the season because of Gleyber Torres' defensive troubles.

Germán was 4-5 with a 4.
