Jose Urquidy Chooses Escogido Over Diamondbacks
The Arizona Diamondbacks were poised to add depth to their pitching staff with former Houston Astros right-handed starter Jose Urquidy. However, what seemed like a promising agreement has reportedly unraveled. Recent reports indicate that Urquidy has opted to head to the Dominican Republic instead, where he will join the Escogido Baseball Club.
Escogido Welcomes Urquidy
The Escogido Baseball Club has officially confirmed Urquidy’s signing, making it clear that he will not be donning a Diamondbacks jersey this season. This decision marks a significant turn in Urquidy’s career, as he aims to showcase his talents in the Dominican Winter League.
Strategic Move for Urquidy
The choice to play winter ball in the Dominican Republic appears strategic for Urquidy. By joining Escogido, he hopes to attract the attention of Major League scouts. This move underscores his desire to remain competitive and potentially secure a more favorable opportunity in the major leagues moving forward.
As the winter league progresses, all eyes will be on Urquidy as he continues to develop his skills on the mound, navigating the challenges of the offseason with aspirations of revitalizing his professional journey.
