Yankees: 3 trades NYY should pursue with Texas Rangers

1. Joey Gallo to the Yankees

Yankees fans have to be a little greedy once in a while.

Do the Yankees have room for the man with the most raw power in professional baseball? Trick question. You make room.

Joey Gallo whiffs more often than you’d like him to, but his whiffs are par for the course, and the 27-year-old finally put it all together in the first half of 2019, riding a Chris Davis-like breakout to his first All-Star appearance.

Though July 23 was his final game of 2019 thanks to a broken hamate bone (thanks a lot!), the Yankees, or any other potential trade partner, would definitely still be required to pay ’19 prices for Gallo — his .181, 10-homer shortened campaign won’t be emphasized.

Though he sells out for power and brings with him the requisite strikeouts, you leap at the opportunity to acquire a slugger of this magnitude — and who knows if he’s even available? Warts and all, he still could be viewed as the centerpiece of the Rangers moving forward.

We don’t want this to cost us Deivi Garcia, but with three years of control still on the table for Gallo, it very well might. Odds are high a package would look something like Garcia, Florial, and Andujar, though we’d love to get away with No. 4 prospect Oswald Peraza, Florial, Andujar and Yajure.

Don’t get your hopes up, Yankees fans, but hey. It’s December. Hope’s all we’ve got right now.
