Athletics Sign Gio Urshela to $2.15 Million Deal for 2025 Season

The veteran third baseman joins Oakland as the team prepares for its West Sacramento debut and a potential future move to Las Vegas.

Gio Urshela, a 33-year-old third baseman, has signed a one-year, $2.15 million contract with the Oakland Athletics, with up to $450,000 in potential performance bonuses.
Urshela is expected to fill the A's vacancy at third base as they prepare to play the next three seasons at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, California.
The Athletics are planning a move to Las Vegas, pending the construction of a new stadium, and have been actively reshaping their roster this offseason.
Urshela, known for his defensive skills, has played for several MLB teams over his nine-year career, including the Yankees, Twins, and Braves, and was a Gold Glove finalist in 2020.
This signing follows other key moves by the A's, including a three-year, $67 million contract with pitcher Luis Severino and a trade for left-handers Jeffrey Springs and Jacob Lopez.
