Actually, trading Gary Sanchez and Gio Urshela to Twins was a big business for the Yankees?
After leaving the Bronx, Sanchez and Urshela face the Yankees for the first time.
Tonight Gio and “El Kraken” will be rivals of their former teammates in the first game of a three-way series at Target Field in Minnesota. Both are contributing so that the Twins are first in the Central Division.
Urshela is hitting opportunely, especially playing consistently defensively, with his magical fielding, covering a lot of ground, just like he did in the Bronx.
Dominican Gary Sánchez has also improved in hitting, which may be because he does more of a DH than a catcher.
The Yankees are not only first in the entire MLB with an extraordinary record of 39–15 with a PCT of .722, but they also lead the East Division of the American League. In the Central Division, the Twins are first. The change suited players and teams.
Note: I would have preferred to keep Gio at third base for the Yankees, but the Colombian was traded for Brian Cashman, General Manager, who wanted to get rid of Sánchez at all costs and had to make a great sacrifice given the results, it came out round.
What will happen in the reunion of these magnificent players now as rivals of the Yankees?
Will there be a sweep of the Yankees?
