Rangers May Hold Yovani Gallardo

By Steve Adams | July 31, 2015 at 2:05pm CDT

2:05pm: It doesn’t sound like the Rangers are getting any offers to their liking, as Heyman tweets that at this time, it appears that they may hold onto Gallardo.

10:17am: The Cubs and Blue Jays also remain in the mix for Gallardo, tweets Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. Those three teams are his main suitors, Heyman says, noting that the possibility of the Rangers retaining Gallardo still remains.

10:02am: The Dodgers and Rangers are having “ongoing discussions” regarding right-hander Yovani Gallardo this morning, reports Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (Twitter link).

The 29-year-old Gallardo was an offseason acquisition by the Rangers, who acquired him from the Brewers in exchange for Luis Sardinas and Corey Knebel. He’s had a nice season overall with Texas, notching a 3.39 ERA 6.0 K/9, 3.4 BB/9 and a 49.5 percent ground-ball rate. However, Gallardo’s recent performance hasn’t done the Rangers any favors in terms of trading him; he’s allowed five runs in three consecutive starts.

Gallardo’s strikeout numbers are way down from his 2009-11 peak, but his ground-ball rate is up, and his control numbers have sharpened as well. He’s earning $14MM this season in his final year of control before hitting the open market. Clearly, a trade would benefit his free agent stock, as he’d be ineligible for a qualifying offer.

The Dodgers have already added Mat Latos and Alex Wood to their rotation, though there have been indications that they’re still in the market for even more rotation help despite those trades.

    Have to imagine the QO would be more valuable than anything the Dodgers would send in return.

    Yovani has been a nightmare since the all-star break. Gotta be a concern for most teams.

    Now this I wouldn’t understand from the Dodgers’ perspective. I don’t even think he’s as good as Brett Anderson will be as the #5 starter. And ok, Anderson is injury-prone. But even then, Bolsinger would do just fine in that role.

      Anderson is a real risk to break his finger or his ankle again.

        Calling Anderson injury prone is such an understatement. Intermittently healthy is more apt.

      Yeah I don’t get it, it’d give them 7 decent or better starters. They don’t have enough spots as it is with Kershaw Greinke Wood Latos Boslinger Anderson. So adding Gallardo just doesn’t fit. It seems that they’re over compensating for the McCarthy and Ryu.

    Unless the Dodgers are pulling off another 3-team / 14-player deal… not sure why they would have interest in Yo?

    I know he hasn’t been great in July but I’d say keep him unless they are blown away by a team in desperate need of pitching and get a multitude of prospects in return.

    Cubbies. Stay far away. They will want to get even on the Garza trade.

    Ok, so this is heavy heavy speculation and dreams. But, do you think daniels has one more big trade in him? I was thinking something along the line of gallardo, mazara, ‘prospect tbd’ and choo + 50mil for puig… Albeit I don’t know if the rangers can handle puigs salary but dodgers wanted to move him and theyd be getting his possible replacement in mazara and someone to stick there till they want him up in choo, and lets face it rangers fans puig is what we’d want mazara to eventually be, plus puig is right handed

      puig only makes less then 10 mill a season. so if they can handle hamels contract why couldnt they puig. but i doubt puig be traded at this point. ill be surprise if he is

      Never gonna happen. Dodgers have way to many outfielders as it is. Choo would hurt them rather then help. Throwing in money for part of his salary wont matter. They already have one overpriced old outfielder in Crawford. They dont need gallardo and Mazara and prospect tbd is not enough for Puig.

    the dodgers already added 4 new pitchers. how many more do we need. i get it could be help with Anderson health history. but is there really a need for another pitcher. there only 2 months left and come playoff time dodgers will only need 4 pitchers at the most

    Somebody would really need to come with a strong package of prospects to entice the Rangers to give up the compensatory pick they’ll get if he walks.

    I have never understood the Gallardo trade speculation anyway. Not good enough to get a great prospect package, but he is good enough to help the Rangers sneak into a wildcard spot potentially. And he is good enough where you can make him a qualifying offer and likely still get him back for less years than what you would have to pay on the open market or at least get a draft pick.

      Well, a month ago when he was riding a long streak of shutout innings they might have been fielding better offers. His last few starts have probably reduced his value as a rental however.
