URSHELA ADDED BY THE ANGELS
The Los Angeles Angels acquired infielder Gio Urshela from the Minnesota Twins for pitcher Alejandro Hidalgo.
What does it give the Los Angeles Angels
The Angels have had trouble staying healthy recently, especially in terms of their infielders. Enter Urshela, who can play mainly third base and shortstop. He could challenge for the starting shortstop gig in 2023.
What does it give the Minnesota Twins
The Twins were able to trade Urshela hours before they had to decide whether to tender him a contract or not. In Hidalgo, Minnesota receives a young arm who is several years away from the big leagues.
Fantasy impact
Urshela's fantasy stock in 2023 will be based on playing time. If he wins a starting gig, he could have sleeper appeal. Keep a close eye on him in spring training next year. Hidalgo is off the keeper radar for the time being.
