Lourdes Gurriel Holding a September Showcase for MLB Clubs

While the New York Yankees ultimately did not land Cuban star Yulieski Gurriel, who has been tearing the cover off the ball for the Houston Astros since his August promotion, they still have a chance to correct their mistake by signing his younger brother Lourdes Jr., who may ultimately be the bigger prize.

The younger Gurriel brother is probably a better fit for the Yankees given their recent focus on youth. Lourdes is a decade younger than Yulieski and will likely come much cheaper than the $47.5 million it took to land the his big bro.
