Fresh off a series win against the Twins, the Rangers welcome division rivals and former Rangers great Elvis Andrus to the Grill for a 3 game set. 7:00 start times across the board. Howard, Otto, and Gray are the hurlers.

'An honor' for Pérez to rep Texas as All-Star

Congrats to first time All-Star Martin Perez!

Re Gallo
Would not be the end of the world if we get him for a guy like Culbertson or Miller. Just dont want him cutting him into Josh Smith or Huff time

We don’t owe Gallo a thing. He had a chance to sign an extension and it worked out fine with me.
I certainly don’t consider him a cancer but likewise he in no sure bet starter for our future.
Only a flyer albeit talented but needs to get head together IMO

This guy has been given more chances than he deserves. He gives back little. He has been given more excuses than anyone. Maybe he just was a mistake and is not a MLB calibre player.

they would have to pay his full salary for the rest of the season + throw in at least 3 prospects (2 of which would have to be in their top 20)

Here is what a Competitive balance pick, after the first round. would cost. This is Atlanta's #1and #23 prospect. Waters is their #1 prospect, but he isn't in theMLB top 100.

For us that might equate to Dustin Harris, Ragans and a lesser prospect.

With that in mind, I am all for the Rangers trading for a pick either after the first round or after the second. We could afford one after each round if need be.

The Padres pick is 4 behind the Royals so the price would be a little less if we made a deal with them.

The problem is woody would play him over Smith and Huff and they would be planted on the bench.

I wonder if the Yankees would have to send a prospect along with Gallo for a lesser prospect from us? In essence, paying us with a better prospect for them getting out from under the last $5 million he is owed for the year.

That was my thought if money is an issue.
Rather get rid of one vet so playing time is less an issue

BTW reading all the rants on the LSB tweets are hilarious. Would think there is a middle ground but that seems never brought up

I would laugh my head off if we get Gallo
Give him one year cheap extension and flip him again.

Nothing funny concerning Gallo. Give him nothing but walking papers.

We don't really need him, but if we can benefit from the deal by paying the $5 million then I might be interested. Of course, I just see him as a disappointing player and not the menace to society that some see him as.

Why does it have to be a three way trade? Why not the traditional kind?
