One former Houston Astros slugger is taking his talents to South Beach.
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports Thursday that free agent first baseman Yuli Gurriel has agreed to a deal with the Miami Marlins.
Gurriel had spent his entire MLB career to this point with the Astros, winning World Series titles with them in 2017 and 2022. He posted a 31-homer, 104-RBI season in 2019 and then won the AL batting title in 2021 with a .319 average. Gurriel also earned a Gold Glove at first base in 2021.
Now 38 years old, Gurriel did show some signs of decline last season, hitting just .242 with a career-low .647 OPS in 146 games. But he will now attempt to find another wind on a Marlins team that already brought in another ex-World Series champion earlier this offseason.
