Gallo added, “You can be doing something slightly wrong, and in baseball you just start doing it every day, and it starts to become a habit you don’t notice. I just feel like something here got out of rhythm, out of whack.”

For a potential trade, Milwaukee Brewers would be looking for a low-level prospect exchange to bring in Joey Gallo as he would serve as a bench option with an ability to spot start with the record he has at the moment. Gallo is a free agent after the 2022 season and is earning $10.28 million with the New York Yankees.
