ETA: I guess it really isn't a horrible a return--Duran and Smith have upside and Otto has looked really good this year. My initial reaction was they should have landed Volpe, though, even if they had to give up 3 of the other guys.Last edited by Sour Masher; 07-28-2021, 10:17 PM.

Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostI guess. 23 year old prospects who just got to high A are not guys I usually think have a good shot of accomplishing much in the majors, but there have been late bloomers buck that trend, and he has hit where he has been placed. Still, if it were me, I'd have preferred to squeeze the Yankees to try to get Volpe in the deal. Him, Duran, and Otto would have been a great haul. I like Volpe a lot, but I would be surprise if he has risen to the point that the Yankees would not have included him in a 2 or 3 for Gallo deal.
I agree, I would have liked to see Volpe - he was my initial guess when the information came out that Gallo was being traded to NYY.Last edited by Ken; 07-29-2021, 08:29 AM.

Geez. No one has posted the entire deal.
Rangers - trade Joey Gallo and Joely Rodríguez
Yankees - Ezequiel Duran, Josh Smith, Trevor Hauver, and Glenn Otto
Obviously Duran is the big prize, ++power with good plate discipline and some speed, but likely not until 2023. The others are young and will give their minor leagues some depth. That seems to be an issue.Ad Astra per Aspera
