Photo by Ron Jenkins/Getty Images MLB trade rumors: Joey Gallo was scratched roughly ten minutes before Wednesday Texas Rangers game, as the San Diego Padres and the New York Yankees reportedly continue to pursue Gallo in advance of Friday’s trade deadline. Levi Weaver says Gallo is heading to the New York Yankees. This is obviously a developing situation and nothing happens until it happens, but it appears that the trigger has been pulled. The Rangers homegrown star, who pleaded publicly, repeatedly, to stay with the Rangers, apparently is being shipped out. I am not going to try to speculate as to who Texas may be getting, but whatever the deal is, I’m not going to like it because it will still mean Joey Gallo is no longer a Texas Ranger.
