Padres Rumored To Be Interested In Joey Gallo
3 years agoThe San Diego Padres are expected by some executives to be one of the most active teams at this year's trade deadline, and their most-rumored target is Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo. "Look at what they did at last year's deadline," one executive said, "even though it didn't all work out. Look at what they did this winter." The addition of the power-hitting Gallo to an already potent Padres lineup could be the final addition that pushes them over the top in an incredibly competitive National League West. Gallo has homered in five straight games and is batting .400 with nine home runs and a 1.705 OPS in his last 11 games. A Gallo addition in San Diego would likely be bad news for right fielder Wil Myers.
