Gio Urshela arrived in time to cash in on breakout Yankees season

Gio Urshela’s surprisingly excellent season is going to come at a price for the Yankees.

Because the third baseman was summoned so early this season — on April 6, not long after Miguel Andujar injured his shoulder — Urshela received a full year of service time. That took his career service time to two years and 127 days, just enough to make him eligible for arbitration in 2020 as a Super Two player rather than having to wait one more season, The Post has learned.

Therefore, instead of likely making less than $1 million, Urshela is projected to make $2.
