Giovanny Urshela: Breaking News

Becoming free agent

The Twins granted Urshela his release Friday. Urshela got a non-roster invite to the Twins' spring camp, but the veteran infielder will hit the open market once again after having his release granted. He went 5-for-26 with five strikeouts and two walks across 11 games played this spring.

Inks deal with Minnesota

The Twins signed Urshela to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports. Urshela spent the 2025 season with the Athletics, slashing .238/.287/.326 with zero home runs, 20 RBI, 10 runs scored and a 13:40 BB:K across 197 plate appearances before being designated for assignment in mid-August. Urshela was eventually released days later but never found a home to close out the 2025 campaign. With Minnesota, 34-year-old Urshela will compete for a corner infielder depth job behind Josh Bell, Royce Lewis, Brooks Lee and Kody Clemens.

Cut loose by Athletics

The Athletics released Urshela on Sunday. Urshela will be able to pursue his options on the open market after he cleared waivers upon being designated for assignment Friday. The 33-year-old is regarded as a solid defender at the corner-infield spots, but he provided scarce production with the bat prior to losing his spot on the Athletics' 40-man roster, slashing just .238/.287/.326 over 197 plate appearances.
