Don’t look now but Yuli, Houston Astros saga comes full circle
SPORTSMAP ROUNDTABLE
27 January 2023
With just a few days left in January, we still don't know where Yuli Gurriel will be playing this season. Reports indicated last week that the Astros offered Yuli a contract, but he was likely to take a more enticing deal with the Miami Marlins.
Yuli even started following the Marlins on social media, which had many fans thinking his days in an Astros uniform were over. But the deal with the Marlins seemingly fell apart, and reports are now indicating that the Astros and Twins might be where Yuli eventually lands.
Yuli Gurriel’s better hopes beyond the Marlins now might include Astros and Twins. He has likely supporters in both places (Dusty/Crane in Houston, Correa in Minnesota). Astros already signed Abreu but they could find some at-bats for Yuli.
