Source: Rangers deep into talks to acquire Jonathan Lucroy from Milwaukee.

Eric Swanson (8th round pick 2014) and Nick Green (4th round 2014) are also going with Tate for Beltran.

If they add Beltran and Lucroy by using up a few prospects or Gallo. I guess I am ok. Lucroy is still under contract next season I believe.

$5.25 million team option, which they hopefully will exercise before the trade.

I like the Beltran deal, he's on track for the hall of fame. Tate regressed quite a bit this season but he's still very young. They are sending someone else with him though, or cash.

Talk is that getting Beltran gives us some flexibility towards Lucroy, I think Gallo is still going somewhere. Hopefully with DeShields!

Sure he is a rental. I hope there is one more big trade coming. Pitching is the issue here.

Cool, he's having one heck of a season. Tate was our #5 prospect but we spent our 4th overall pick last year to get him. Beltran is definitely an upgrade over DeShields in center. This is his walk year though.

Welcome Carlos Beltran to the fold!

Rangers are getting Carlos Beltran from the Yankees. So far, it says "for right-hander Dillon Tate and others". So Rangers picked up a bat without losing Gallo. Maybe they still have something else in the works.

Today is the day. Is Gallo packing to Milwaukee?

Or Tampa, maybe even Philly. Archer, Odorizzi and Hellickson are definitely in play. Straight up for Lucroy would be good but they want pitching prospects as well.
