Athletics' Gio Urshela: Inks one-year deal with A's
Gio Urshela agreed to a one-year contract with the Athletics on Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.Urshela split time between Detroit and Atlanta last season and hit .250 with nine home runs and a .647 OPS. He was released by Detroit in August after slashing just .243/.286/.333, but he fared better with Atlanta by hitting .265 with a .711 OPS. Urshela still has a decent glove at third base as his Defensive Runs Saved ranked 18th at the position last season. He'll compete for a regular role this spring at third base, but he might be a better fit with the A's as a veteran bench player.

Gio Urshela went 0-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's win over the Phillies.Signed earlier in the day following the news that Austin Riley (hand) could miss the rest of the regular season, Urshela was immediately inserted into Atlanta's starting lineup as the third baseman and batted eighth.

The veteran infielder slashed just .243/.286/.333 in 92 games for the Tigers, but the 32-year-old entered the year as a career .277/.322/.423 hitter and Atlanta would be betting on a bounce-back effort.
