Following rumors surrounding an expected trade between the Milwaukee Brewers and Texas Rangers all day Monday, the two sides eventually came together to complete the deal, which involves right-hander Yovani Gallardo as the headliner in exchange for three prospects, as T.R.

Some expected the Texas Rangers to address their pitching need on the free-agent market. Instead, they've dipped their feet in the trade waters, acquiring Yovani Gallardo from the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday.  

Yahoo Sports' Jeff Passan reported the news as well as Milwaukee's return in the deal:

In reality, it only takes one team to overvalue, and, thus, overpay for a player on the trade market. But there's always a group of players that's viewed as having a certain value based on certain numbers, reputation and trade-market depth.

Unless the price somehow goes way down in the next 12 days, here are five overrated players whom your team should avoid acquiring before the trade deadline.

Longtime Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo is drawing interest as the July 31 MLB trade deadline draws closer.

The trade deadline is rapidly approaching, bringing with it an endless series of rumors about players who will be on the move to hopefully push a contending team into the postseason.

Milwaukee Brewers ace Yovani Gallardo was arrested and cited for drunken driving early Tuesday morning. Drew Olson of ESPN Wisconsin broke the news, reporting that Gallardo was pulled over at 2:10 a.m. on Interstate 94 near Miller Park for driving too slowly and failing to stay in the lanes.

The Brewers just finished up their first of three games in a weekend series against the rival Chicago Cubs at Miller Park. Let me say that the game was not played crisply by either club. The 7-4 loss dropped the Brewers' record to 3-5 on the season.
