Rangers Sign Yovani Gallardo

By Jeff Todd | April 13, 2018 at 3:12pm CDT

The Rangers have signed righty Yovani Gallardo to a minor-league deal, per a club announcement. He’ll report to Triple-A to begin his second stint with the Texas organization.

Gallardo has already spent time with the Brewers and Reds organizations this year. He was cut loose by each, though, after a middling spring with Milwaukee and then a messy three-appearance stint with the Cincinnati organization.

Now, the 32-year-old hurler will become the latest notable pitcher to seek a bounce back in Texas. He was acquired by the organization before the 2015 season in a swap that cost the Rangers future closer Corey Knebel. Gallardo originally launched his professional career after being drafted from a Texas high school, so there are multiple connections at play here.

That ’15 campaign is the last in which Gallardo has been effective. He worked to a 3.42 ERA in 184 1/3 innings for the Rangers, wrapping up an impressive run of success dating back to his debut season of 2007. Since, though, he has managed only 251 frames of 5.81 ERA ball with 6.5 K/9 and 4.5 BB/9.

    Saw that coming. He’ll make the starting rotation in no time. Good for him.

      You obviously have not seen him pitch this year. The Reds guaranteed him 750,000 and let him go after 3 games. If you can’t make it on the Reds staff this year, you should retire. A 85mph fastball with zero movement won’t cut it.

    As long as he has arms and is breathing…which puts him ahead of the haters who are about to crowd on here and bash the Rangers and Gallardo.

    I’ll say this – Gallardo definitely fits the profile of the type of pitcher TEX has been collecting so far this year.

    Jon Daniels should’ve been fired for this trade alone!

    Perfect situation for Gallardo. Made some cash and is back in Texas where I believe he calls home in the off-season.He will find his way onto the big league roster.

    Never a good thing when bad teams like the reds and brewers fire you and. And as of right now. The rangers suck now too.

    This will make them the clear cut favorites to beat the Stro’s and Angels to the division title. Daniels should be given a lifetime contract.
