Interested to see what we traded in return.

Mike from SI : 7/28/2021 8:10 pm : link
it's 6 players for 2 players. (He tends to be reliable although obviously he started off recently and as an outsider.)
Hoping it's not much.

Especially if we give up big assets.
Looks like it's official, MLB Network is talking about it.

But if we do and he keeps up his quality of play it's definitely a good move.

@JeffPassan
The Texas Rangers will receive RHP Glenn Otto, 2B Ezequiel Duran, SS Josh Smith and 2B/OF Trevor Hauver as part of the package from the New York Yankees in the Joey Gallo trade, sources tell ESPN.

Rangers are getting massive haul of prospects in this deal. Others involved, too.
Other names I've seen are:  
ManningLobsItBurressAlone : 7/28/2021 8:34 pm : link
Everson Pereira
Randy Vazquez

Not sure what the final package looks like.
Looks like  
ManningLobsItBurressAlone : 7/28/2021 8:36 pm : link
no Schmidt according to Jomboy now.
From Sherman  
Strahan91 : 7/28/2021 8:39 pm : link
The #Yankees reached deep into their pitching and middle-IF depth in this package for Gallo, but did not touch the two middle IF they believe have the highest upside in Oswald Peraza and Anthony Volpe, nor pitching with Luis Gil, Luis Medina or Clarke Schmidt.
Was the judge scratch  
Bricktop : 7/28/2021 8:42 pm : link
Some sort of ruse by the Yankees? He just showed up outta nowhere. Weird.

Beautiful. Love that.
Haha, of course it's Gallo. Is he really going to touch postseason  
Jim in Hoboken : 7/28/2021 8:49 pm : link
pitching? 600K from him, Stanton and Judge, yuck.

Let's see what the final package is.
When people bitch about player development  
Mike from SI : 7/28/2021 8:50 pm : link
just remember that a bunch of our prospects, but not the best ones, brought back Gallo. That's hard to quantify or compare but seems to be a good sign.

He looks a bit like he had a stomach virus - just looks washed out. Maybe the shits...

Evan Grant @Evan_P_Grant · 4m Hear are names I've been told could be coming back Rangers way from Yankees: SS Josh Smith, 2B Ezequiel Duran, OF Everson Pereira, 2B-OF Trevor Hauver, RHP Glen Otto & RHP Randy Vasquez. Still nothing official. May take some time to sort through medicals



Pereira is one that stings for me even though he's far away.

He's got 25 HRs and a .870 OPS. And yes 4th highest K in MLB. Not chopped liver and a good OF.
Would've liked to hold onto Pereira, I bet at least three prospects  
Jim in Hoboken : 7/28/2021 8:55 pm : link
out of that package make the show.

Are they going to play Gallo at CF?
I'll like this move

If it means hicks ass is grass. One can hope.
The team desperately needed a left-handed bat

Gallo has his warts but he’s a nice addition to the order.

Joey Callo also leads the league in walks they said.
Hopefully Gardner sees the bench now, rather have Allen
out there, and he's a SH as well. He covers more ground, more speed.
Shit, he is 6'5"

Hard to trade a Hicks  
Carson53 : 7/28/2021 9:06 pm : link
when A)he is injury prone, and B)has 40 mill. left on his deal, for FOUR more years. That's always been the kicker
with his deal, the length of his contract, not AAV.
that is  
RasputinPrime : 7/28/2021 9:07 pm : link
a boatload of hitting talent going back the other way. Otto we probably sold high on but gutting our entire 2B pool is a really odd move.

Love Gallo but really don't love the deal.
i'll add  
RasputinPrime : 7/28/2021 9:09 pm : link
that we aren't one Gallo away from being a player for the WS and now we have no more Hal-bucks to spend.

These are Cashman prospects. I wouldn't worry much.
That’s maybe two top 10 prospects  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 7/28/2021 9:10 pm : link
and those guys didn’t start the season as top 10 prospects. For a top 20-25 hitter in baseball with the sport’s highest walk percentage, that’s not bad.

Gardy to the bench can’t hurt either.

Well they are clearly doubling down on him being part of the solution. I was really excited to see Smith and Hauser. Duran was getting rave reviews.
