Re: Toronto Signs Lourdes Gurriel Jr to 7 years.
Great that a top-end international prospect wants to sign in Toronto and does! I am sick of these guys signing with the Yankees and Red Sox. haha
Re: Toronto Signs Lourdes Gurriel Jr to 7 years.
"free" assets are never a bad thing. Excited to see how he pans out. As a gambler I'm loving this contract - could be $22 mill down the drain or it could be a steal very soon depending on how well he adapts/develops.
Re: Toronto Signs Lourdes Gurriel Jr to 7 years.
Well he’ll need seasoning in the minors. So considering he can play anywhere, but best utilized at SS, 2B, or 3B he could be Tulo’s successor when Tulo eventually has to move off of SS.
