they bring up Gallo now….no?
rmullig2
They would be throwing him into the lineup in the middle of a pennant chase. If he crumbles they would not have the chance to go out and get a replacement.
Texas would be best served by waiting until next year and having him be the Opening Day first baseman.
MatthewBaltimore23
Yes
CodyGadbois
I feel like they don’t trust Gallo at the major league level and want to use him as a trade chip but having him fail in the majors would only hurt his value
rmullig2
Perfect landing spot for Beltran as long as the Rangers are not on his no trade list.
MatthewBaltimore23
Agree
Gogerty
Good call.
roadapple
Yankees will send Texiera instead.
brandons-3
Tex back in Texas. Interesting
MB923
Maybe they can send both. Along with Miller perhaps.
AndyM
Along with Miller means along with Gallo and more
Sign all the Cubans

Ranger76
What does his contract look like…how many yrs left?
Ranger76
Never mind I looked. He’s in the last yr of his deal worth $15 mil. So the Rangers pay like what…$7 mil of that? Not having Prince’s $18 mil on the books sure would be nice. Big Papi is still smashing the ball at 40…Prince is like 32 WTF

Sometimes modern medicine works, sometimes it doesn’t.

Am I missing something? I thought Prince signed a nine year deal that doesn’t expire until 2020?
gammaraze
That was an indirect response to acquiring Beltran and his contract status. The Rangers are on the hook for Prince to the tune of $72M over the next 4 years… The insurance policy pays 50%.
Lance
Prince’s numbers have been dropping ever since he left Milwaukee. That weight is catching up to him. This is addition by subtraction for Texas. He’s bad in the field, he can’t run the bases and before, he could at least hit. This year….nothing.

Free Joey Gallo

Derek Norris could come over and provide a Mike Napoli-esk value to the Rangers. He can catch, play some first and DH. All be it on a relatively cheap contract and you pair him with Cashner in a trade and that kills two birds with one stone. This could be a moot point though however, if Texas does decide to pony up for Lucroy. Should be an interesting next week.

All be it!
zippytms
NO NO NO NO NO!!!! They just lost an aging overpaid slugger with limited mobility. The perfect replacement? MATT KEMP!!!! Okay, take Norris and Cashner too, and we’ll even thrown in Buchter… for Profar!
dontknowmuch
Pretty sure Gallo will be moved as part of a deal for a good controllable starter. He’s not ready to be a contributor to a playoff contender and is available in the right deal.
CodyGadbois
Problem is every team wants profar and a contending team like the Rangers can’t do that..same Baez with the Cubs..
sdmexicanf00d
Cashner + Norris +eating a large chunk of Kemps contract for Profar!!!! make it happen Preller

Kendrys Morales to the Rangers in return for a lower level pitcher? The Royals look to be selling and he can play 1st as a fill in if needed.
thirdbasetree
*Pitching prospect* Sorry about that.
porcelena
I think Morales would be an Excellent fit. Good call
