Rangers Listening On Yovani Gallardo

By Jeff Todd | July 21, 2015 at 8:00pm CDT

The Rangers are listening to trade inquiries on starter Yovani Gallardo, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (via Twitter). The possibility of Gallardo being available was note earlier today in a report from Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com.

Despite the possibility of a move involving the free-agent-to-be Gallardo, Texas is still participating in talks on Cole Hamels. That indicates that the club could be interesting in multiple moves that keep it competitive this year and set things up for near-term contention.

Gallardo, 29, has provided the Rangers with 117 1/3 quality innings since coming over in a winter deal from the Brewers. He owns a 2.91 ERA with 6.1 K/9 against 3.3 BB/9 on the year. But per Heyman’s report, Gallardo has given no indication of interest in an extension, making him an expiring asset for a club that has faded of late.

Despite his solid work, Gallardo’s value may not quite match his results. His track record is more that of a mid-rotation innings eater than a top-of-the-rotation arm, and ERA estimators take a somewhat dim view of his work this year (particularly a 4.32 SIERA mark).

While Gallardo will hardly be a top trade target, we’ve seen pitchers of his ilk draw solid deadline returns in recent years. The Cubs, in particular, have cleaned up by selling off mid-rotation arms: the Matt Garza deal brought back young talent in C.J. Edwards, Mike Olt, and Neil Ramirez, while Scott Feldman returned Jake Arrieta and Pedro Strop.

    An Idea they call Phil say if you Trade Hamels to Cubs or Dodgers who would you want in return then try and Trade Gallardo their for those people so their’s more for Phil’s to choose from Rangers for them to get Hamels.

    i wonder if the rangers would want smoak back in a deal, the guy is having a good season and is controlled for another year. If the jays trade him then Colabello could take over at first and then the jays trade for an outfielder that can catch and throw a proper baseball

      We won’t have the money to pick up a fielder if we do upgrade the rotation. And I have the feeling that Smoak is going to start playing close to everyday at first for us now. He’s really turned it on while Colabello’s fallen back to earth recently
