Freddy Galvis Out One-To-Two Months

By TC Zencka | June 27, 2021 at 10:49am CDT

JUNE 27: Galvis has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right quadriceps strain, the team announced. Urias and Leyba were each recalled from Norfolk, as was outfielder Ryan McKenna. Righty Konner Wade and utilityman Stevie Wilkerson were optioned in corresponding moves.

Galvis will miss between one and two months, manager Brandon Hyde told reporters (including Steve Melewski of MASNsports.com). That casts serious doubt about his trade candidacy. Galvis would need to return at the very early end of that projected timetable to be healthy by the July 30 deadline. Players on the injured list can still be traded, but a veteran role player like Galvis never looked likely to bring back a highly impactful return, and contenders’ interest in acquiring him would be dealt a serious blow if he’s still on the IL come deadline day.

JUNE 26: Freddy Galvis was carted off the field during today’s loss to the Blue Jays. The team described the injury as right quadriceps discomfort. A roster move appears likely to follow, with Galvis heading to the injured list, per Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com.

Along with being one of the Orioles’ more vocal veteran leaders, the well-respected, glove-first shortstop was a potential trade piece for GM Mike Elias. With little more than a month before the trade deadline, Baltimore will have to wait and see about the severity of Galvis’ injury to know whether he might still be considered a trade chip. Galvis has been worth 0.9 rWAR while slashing .246/.304/.411 in 273 plate appearances.

In the meantime, Pat Valaika took over at shortstop today, while Ramon Urias or Domingo Leyba seem most likely to get the call from Triple-A for more regular playing time. For what it’s worth, neither Urias nor Leyba was in the starting lineup for Triple-A Norfolk tonight, notes Kubatko, suggesting one or both could be on the way to Buffalo. The Orioles play a day game against the Blue Jays tomorrow.

    Ouch. All I was reading was that he’d bring the O’s back some young talent at the deadline

      Dude has never had an OPS+ at 100 in his career. Anyone who trades young talent for him is insane.

        Those were actually my thoughts as well, but his name was all over MLBTR in that regard, I had assumed for his defense? Some teams would kill for a warm body with the way some teams offense and injuries are going this year

          What is it with you Fever and the constant “thoughts and prayers” line. Is it an OCD thing?

        • Wildbillpecos

          11 months ago

          Yea I think playoff teams would find him useful depth down the stretch as a utility guy that can play above average middle infield defense and not embarrass himself as the plate. Don’t see that bringing back more than a marginal prospect or middle reliever type profile coming back if he were to be moved (assuming the injury isn’t serious, hoping it’s not)

        • Fever Pitch Guy

          11 months ago

          Not constant, only when there’s a story involving injury or illness. Just trying to spread some positive vibes at a time when injuries are at record highs.

          He could have been an option for the Phillies, if Didi continues having trouble with gout.

        He might have been worth good young talent when his D was elite but it’s declined a bit it seems.

        Above average defense, consistent offense and health are still valued assets. Galvis has made $26 mill doing just that. Always liked him. Seems to be one of those gritty non superstars that manage to hang around.

        Since there is only 3 shortstops in MLB with an OPS+ of above 100, think you should use a new stat.

          Don’t need a new stat. Just need to know that average to below average hitting, slick fielding short stops are actually pretty valuable

      Galvis’ value is defense, versatility, and by being a great team player. His teammates love him everywhere he plays.

          I’m only 39 but my late grandfather grew up going to the Polo Grounds for a nickel, huge NY Giants fan but he taught me baseball and watched it with me til he left the mortal coil. That’s how I know such random stuff. Weirdly enough he became a Yankees fan (puke) when they left NY so we had fun rooting against eachother, I’m a Mets fan but 2004 was magical for me.

        • bobtillman

          11 months ago

          That’s the beauty of it tho, right? Especially these days, it’s easier to have cross loyalties in the same household, as I suspect was true back when there were 3 teams in NY.

          And 2004 was pretty special for New Englanders. Besides the fact it “reversed the curse”, there was a feeling that the Sox were now a progressive forward thinking organization, led by Boy Wonder Theo; this was after all the last team to integrate. Though there had been past successes, the feeling always was they were “hit and miss”. But John Henry and company led the Sox (and a lot of the rest of MLB) into the 21st century. Stienbrenner called the Sox sale “utterly idiotic; lousy team, lousy TV, lousy park”. But Henry saw something that few others did.

          Yes that was what made my grandpa so fun. We’d go at it every day. I miss it. His two favorite players of all time were Mays and Jeter. I gave a speech at his funeral nearly tearing up talking about this stuff. I’d give anything to be able to have to sit through the story of Bobby Thompson’s ‘shot heard round the world’ …. “The Giants win the pennant!” Ironically they won it all the year he died. Also it’s funny you say that because my grandmother was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan. She told me a story about going to a game with her dad and being appalled by things that people said about Jackie at Ebbets Field, and that her dad stood up and threatened to “sock them in the nose” if they didn’t stop being racist pigs to her favorite player. They still rooted for the Mets to win but the Yanks became their team after the Giants and Dodgers left town.

          Yes 2004 was magical. I remember being in a bar with my fiancé at the time (RIP to her too) and some of our friends all of whom were a Yankees fans watching game 3 of the ALCS when Wakefield got bombed and they lost 19-8. As we were leaving I was begrudgingly congratulating them on another WS. That was crazy. And throughout that series my grandpa and I really had fun. I remember him saying even though he really didn’t like Pedro, no one ever was as good as him in 99 and 2000. Anyways sorry for the wall of text, just miss being able to share that with him

          Oh and also regarding Henry seeing more than everyone else, imagine if Billy Beane had accepted the offer to be their GM, a brilliant GM like him who builds yearly winners with bottle caps for currency and big Sox money to actually sign that extra piece or two that would put them over the top. He would’ve created a dynasty I think. Either way it worked out well. Looks like Theo left a hell of an impression cause they seem to be grooming him for the Commissioner job

          Again, that’s what makes MLB so much fun. I grew up in a house with a dad who was an ardent (to say the least) Yankee fan; an Italian immigrant, he loved the Yanks because they gave “our people” a chance. So of course I became a Red Sox fan; it was the 60’s. But still the one thing that we both agreed on (dad was as far left as anyone I’ve ever known; growing up in Mussolini Italy probably contributed to that and I’m more of a Hubert Humphrey guy); was baseball. We’d argue forever, but my best moments were sitting in the back yard sitting under a tree with our transistor radio blaring a ball game. For my generation, ’67 was pure magic. You could walk down my street and EVERYBODY was sitting on the front porch listening to the game. Grandmothers who didn’t know a bunt from a banana would be screaming at their radios. Really, it was a whole lot of fun.

          And Petrocelli and of course Tony Conigliaro served to warm dad’s heart to the Sox…that and the fact the Yanks were totally awful. Or as Sox broadcaster Ned Martin once intoned, “Yankee Stadium; the house that Horace Clarke built”.

          It’s funny that football doesn’t have the same effect on me, and I’m a lifelong NY Giants fan who celebrated their first Super Bowl victory (Bill Parcells is God) standing in my bathtub with two of my friends, dousing each other with champagne. They had been so bad for so long…..

          But for whatever reason, it wasn’t the same.

          just stepping in to give my boy Horace Clarke some luv – HE wasn’t really the problem with those teams.

          “cross loyalties”

          No one in my household gives a rat’s ass about baseball. But we are all football fans.
          Absolute war zone on Sundays as I will always love the Giants, my girlfriend will always be a Vikings gal, & my son somehow became a passionate Seahawks(?) fan.

          Also: 2004 never happened.

        • sfes

          11 months ago

          Yeah it’s nuts how many people think baseball is too slow when in reality football games stop time every 3 seconds after running a play. I’ve always (ugh) been a Jets fan, my brothers and I were always against the rest of the family rooting for Big Blue. Lots of fun but still never matched the baseball fever we always had. Wow Seahawks of all teams, that’s funny Ducky. At least it wasn’t the Eagles or Cowboys. When I was growing up in the 90s everyone was either a Cowboys or 49ers fan in football, Bulls fans in the NBA and Yankees fans I presume cause they were all winners back then. Front runners! Not me though. Olajuwon, Jordan, Reggie Miller, Mike Scoscia and Gibson made sure to break my young heart! …and of course can’t forget about those damned Braves and “Larry”

        • bobtillman

          Imagine the fun I had BOTH times the “New York FOOTBALL Giants” (as they used to be called) defeated the Pats (I’m in western Mass.). And the enjoyment I got watching both games with die-hard Patriot fans. When David Tyree made (what will always be in Giants-land) “THE CATCH”, I pranced around (I had consumed several adult beverages), doing my best Al Michaels rendition of “Do you believe in miracles!!!”…

          One of my brother in laws still doesn’t talk to me…..And I have nothing but respect for Bellicheck, Brady et all, but it was still amazing.

        • Ducky Buckin Fent

          Yeah.
          I passed on zero of my sports allegiances to him.

          There is football in general. & we both play(ed) WR. So we’ve always had common ground there.
          But I skied for my winter sport. He plays hoops.
          & in Spring, he plays tennis & always found baseball “boring”.

          So we’ve our own sports traditions: any college or NFL game, the NCAA basketball tournament, & Wimbledon (which starts tomorrow).

          The Seahawks thing…man, I don’t know how that happened. I’m a single parent. So perhaps it was bad parenting, uh?

          Danny Jones doesn’t do anything for ya, huh….neither for me. Dunno, he MIGHT be OK in a few years….and the coach doesn’t seem half bad (Gettleman needs to wait tables at IHOP)…

        • Ducky Buckin Fent

          11 months ago

          He shows flashes.
          & let’s face it. Eli could cough the ball up himself. But: that was typically due to his aggressiveness.

          Had he not had that quality, The Catch never happens. Remember everything he did to stay alive in the pocket *before* he heaved the rock downfield?
          Mercy.
          Beautiful.

          Those same transcendent moments like The Catch were the exact same mentality that lead to his 4 interception games.

          I’ve struggled with Gettleman’s draft choices – aside from Saquon – his entire tenure. But – in his defense – he inherited an absolute mess of a team.

          The Jets may have just landed a special QB finally. As fragile as he was, I loved Chad Pennington.

        • Ducky Buckin Fent

          11 months ago

          Pennington was solid.
          Didn’t make many mistakes & completed tons of passes. Good QB. Better than Jones by a lot.

          Also: hat tip for being a loyal Jets fan. That *cannot* be easy.

      Since they’re playing the Jays in Buffalo, the visitors’ clubhouse is located beyond the outfield wall. He was carted there after the inning finished. There was no way he was making it there on his own. 🙁
