Gallo is in the midst of his worst offensive season, hitting just .159 with 12 homers and 24 RBIs — a stark contrast from previous years with the Texas Rangers where he averaged nearly 40 homers during a full season's worth of play.
The Dodgers acquired slugging outfielder Joey Gallo from the New York Yankees on Tuesday, just one of a myriad of blockbuster trades flooding the market ahead of the trade deadline.
Gallo, 28, is a two-time All-Star and a career .201 hitter with 170 homers in parts of eight seasons. Prior to his time with the Yankees, he was considered one of the game's premiere power bats, averaging nearly 40 homers during a full season's worth of play. However, after ending up in New York during the 2021 trade deadline, Gallo has slumped in a major way, especially this season as he's hitting just .159 with 12 homers and 24 RBIs. His career on base percentage, which normally hovered around .300 has seen a drastic 100 point hit to .201 in 273 plate appearances.
Along with his bat, Gallo also heads to Los Angeles as one of the game's better outfielders, securing a pair of Gold Gloves during his career, thanks in large part to his rocket of an arm, with 38 career outfield assists. In return, the Yankees receive Dodgers pitching prospect Clayton Beeter, who has pitched exclusively in Double-A this season. In 18 games with the Tulsa Drillers, Beeter has a 5.75 ERA with 88 strikeouts in 51.2 innings pitched. Thanks for reading CBS NEWS.
