A's Agree With Luis Urias On One-Year Deal
2 days agoThe Athletics announced on Monday that they agreed to terms with free-agent infielder Luis Urias on an undisclosed one-year deal for the 2025 season. Urias will head to the Athletics after playing in 41 games with the Seattle Mariners last year and batting a weak .191/.303/.394 with a .696 OPS, four home runs, 16 RBI and 11 run scored in only 109 plate appearances. The Mexican infielder was once a top prospect of the San Diego Padres but has never translated his skills to the big-league level outside of a 23-homer, 75-RBI season with the Milwaukee Brewers in 150 games in 2021. The 27-year-old will likely compete with Gio Urshela for playing time at third base this year for the A's. There's power in Urias' bat, but he won't be guaranteed much playing time and could just be a platoon option at the hot corner, at best, if he makes the team out of spring training.
