Pitcher Yovani Gallardo was traded by the Milwaukee Brewers to the Texas Rangers for three players and cash Monday night.

Gallardo was 8-11 last year with a 3.51 ERA in 32 starts last season and 89-64 with a 3.69 ERA in an eight-year career with Milwaukee.

Infielder Luis Sardinas, and right-handers Corey Knebel and Marcos Diplan were dealts to Milwaukee as part of Monday’s trade, which could indicate the Brewers may try to pursue free-agent pitcher James Shields.

Gallardo’s contract specifies his 2015 salary increased from $13 million to $14 million when he was traded. Gallardo is eligible for free agency in November.
