SportsDay columnist Rick Gosselin recently held a chat to talk all things Dallas sports. Here are some of the highlights:

Question: Looks like Adrian Beltre could very well retire a Ranger. I've got two questions: 1. Where does his signing rank among the all-time Rangers free agents? 2. Does his extension put Joey Gallo firmly in play to be part of a trade package this summer?

Gosselin: Beltre's contract makes Gallo a luxury item. At least for the near future. That makes him a valuable bargaining chip. When he makes the big leagues it will be as a third baseman -- and right now there's not a spot for him in Arlington. Beltre has put up Hall of Fame-caliber numbers. If a player winds up with a plaque in Cooperstown, he moves to the head of the class in terms of free-agent signings. His bat helped take the Rangers to the 2011 World Series. It's hard to argue against him as the greatest free-agent signing in franchise history.

Question: Do you like Nomar Mazara's chances of sticking around once the Rangers' outfield is fully healthy?

Gosselin: If he continues to hit, it's going to be impossible for the Rangers to send him out. But the question is can he continue to hit. Joey Gallo had a great start after his call-up a year ago but tailed off quickly. If Mazara starts to tail off -- and it will become tougher for him as MLB pitchers develop a book on him -- he may be better off back at Frisco closing any gaps in his swing. But Mike Trout did it. Why not Mazara? I certainly like what I've seen from him thus far.
