Jeff Passan says that the Rangers are "willing to give up Joey Gallo" to land pitching from the Rays
Texas Rangers rumors: Joey Gallo has long been thought to be off-limits in trade talks, but according to Jeff Passan, "sources familiar with the talks" between the Rangers and the Tampa Bay Rays believe the Rangers are willing to deal their power-hitting AAA 1B/3B as part of deal to get pitching from Tampa.
This would be a pretty significant shift, both from last year, when Gallo and Nomar Mazara were in the "will not trade" category in discussions with the Philadelphia Phillies, and what we've been hearing elsewhere this month, with reports saying that the team didn't see anyone on the market worth giving up Gallo (or Jurickson Profar) for.
