DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - The Rangers have now called up three of the four prospects they received in last summer's trade involving slugger Joey Gallo.
Ezequiel Duran made his big-league debut over the weekend and hit his first career home run on Sunday. Josh Smith shined in his first four big-league games last week, piling up five hits in 12 at-bats before he suffered a sprained shoulder. And Glenn Otto has been solid as a back end of the rotation arm in his eight starts this season (4-2, 4.24 ERA).
As for Gallo, he's yet to turn things around in New York. The outfielder has been one of the worst everyday hitters in baseball since being traded to the Yankees, and now holds an OPS just above .600 (.601) on the season and is batting .176.
K&C reexamined the trade on Monday's show, plus, they discussed whether or not it would make sense for Gallo to return to the Rangers in the offseason. Listen to the podcast above.
