Monday marked MLB trade deadline day, and it started with a bang.
Cleveland Indians right-hander Mike Clevinger was involved in a slew of rumors on Sunday, though no deal was made. That changed on Monday morning, when the San Diego Padres offered the Indians a six-player haul to land both the pitcher and Indians outfielder Greg Allen.
However, San Diego's blockbuster with Cleveland might otherwise have been a blockbuster with the Texas Rangers.
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported the Friars had "explored separate trades" for Rangers right-hander Lance Lynn and outfielder Joey Gallo.
