New York Yankees set to acquire Joey Gallo from Texas Rangers, sources say

The New York Yankees are finalizing a deal to acquire outfielder Joey Gallo from the Texas Rangers, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan on Wednesday night.

The deal is pending a medical review.

It wasn't immediately known who New York was sending to Texas to complete the deal.

Gallo was a late scratch from the Rangers' lineup ahead of Wednesday night's game against the Diamondbacks, with speculation that a trade was in the works.

That proved to be the case, with the Yankees swooping in and acquiring arguably the fiercest bat on the trade market to go with fellow sluggers Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge.
