3 years later, Gio Urshela trade was a huge mistake for the Cleveland Indians

Three years ago, on May 9, 2018, the Cleveland Indians dealt away utility infielder Gio Urshela to the Toronto Blue Jays for a player to be named later or cash. While hindsight is 20-20, looking back on this trade the Tribe came up on the short end of the deal and most likely now regret the move. Luckily, Cleveland wasn’t the only team to mistakenly move Urshela that season.
