Veteran infielder Gio Urshela, 34, announced his retirement from MLB after a 10-season career spanning eight different teams. The Colombian player made the announcement on Instagram, closing a professional journey that peaked during his three-year stint with the New York Yankees, where he became a fan favorite with a .314 batting average, 21 home runs, and 74 RBIs in 2019.

Urshela broke into the major leagues with Cleveland in 2015 and also played for the Blue Jays, Twins, Angels, Tigers, and Braves during his career. The 34-year-old's last MLB action came with the Athletics in 2025, when he batted .238 with 20 RBIs. He represented Colombia in the World Baseball Classic this past March, showcasing his international pedigree.

The journeyman infielder finished his MLB career with a .270 batting average and 73 home runs across 10 seasons. In his retirement statement, Urshela expressed gratitude for the opportunity to play professional baseball, calling it "a beautiful sport that changed my life." His consistent defensive contributions and clutch hitting during his Yankees tenure remain his lasting legacy in the league.
