Freddy Galvis

A team that trades for Freddy Galvis is paying for his glove at shortstop and not much else. He is a Gold Glove candidate this year based on his defensive numbers and can sure-up the middle of any infield in the major leagues.

While his bat is not the most consistent one on the market, he has enough raw ability to get some extra base hits and possibly provide double-digit home run numbers for the first time in his career.

Even though trading inside the division is highly frowned upon, especially with an energetic guy like Freddy, the Nationals would be a place for Galvis while Washington’s top prospect Trea Turner works his way up from Triple-A. If Toronto or Baltimore has issues with aging Troy Tulowitzki or J.J. Hardy respectively, Galvis would be a cheap band-aid in the middle of the field.
