Free agent Yuli Gurriel may be close to joining the Miami Marlins, according to a report in the Miami Herald. The 38-year-old Gurriel won a pair of World Series titles with the Houston Astros in 2017 and &#8217;22. Gurriel was signed by the Astros as a free agent in July of 2016 and he&#8217;s been there ever since. Until now. Gurriel hit 94 home runs and drove in 435 runs in seven successful seasons with the Astros. His best season came in 2019 with a .298 batting average, 31 home runs and 104 RBI. Gurriel&#8217;s production dipped last season, but he&#8217;s still a veteran presence who could provide some leadership for a team like the Marlins. In a one-year deal, the cost would likely be reasonable, too. More From SI&#8217;s Inside The Astros: Could Mike Trout Request a Trade to the Houston Astros?
