Aaron Boone has named Gio Urshela the New York Yankees starting third baseman for 2020. There will be no open competition with Miguel Andujar in spring training.
“We feel like Gio has shown himself to be our third baseman,” Boone said, per Colin Martin of SNY. “And what he’s able to do on both sides of the ball. He’s also got to continue to go out there and earn those regular at-bats. Because we feel, like obviously, we have a lot of capable people that when guys fall off a little bit, there’s going to be a fight for playing time.
