The New York Yankees seem as if they are almost perfect. They are crushing the baseball all over the yard, the defense has been solid, and they are pitching the lights out. But one player who has yet to find his rhythm is Joey Gallo. And Jon Heyman of the New York Post recently said the Yankees are looking to trade Joey Gallo ahead of the 2022 MLB trade deadline.
“That’s exactly what they want to do,” Heyman responded in reference to the Yankees’ desire to trade Gallo. “They need to make a couple moves in the outfield… Joey Gallo is being talked about in trades.”
Heyman also listed two potential suitors for Gallo on the trade market.
“There are teams that believe Joey Gallo will be better once he's out of New York. Obviously, he has not been the same player since coming to the Yankees… We do believe there are at least two teams showing some interest in Joey Gallo. His old Rangers team and the Padres.”
The Padres were previously mentioned as a potential suitor for Gallo. But the Rangers' rumored interest is surprising. Texas traded Gallo to the Yankees just last season in a rebuilding effort. However, Texas displayed signs of aggressiveness over the 2022 offseason. The team signed Corey Seager, Marcus Semien, and Jon Gray, so perhaps they believe Gallo could be a useful piece in building a winner.
Regardless of where Gallo ends up, it is clear that the Yankees are interested in trading him ahead of the 2022 MLB trade deadline.
