MLB Rumors: Joey Gallo is being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers from the New York Yankees for pitching prospect Clayton Beeter, per a report from Pat Ragazzo on Twitter. Ken Rosenthal says it is “possible,” but has confirmed, at least as I’m typing this.
Gallo, of course, was a big trade deadline acquisition of the Yankees last year, when they sent a four player package to the Texas Rangers for him and reliever Joely Rodriguez. Gallo has been a bust in New York, has been benched, was seen as destined to be dealt once the Yankees acquired Andrew Benintendi a few days ago, and has spoken openly about how miserable he is in New York.
