Veteran infielder Freddy Galvis has signed a two-year deal with the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks.
When six-year vet and fan favorite Freddy Galvis was traded to San Diego after the 2017 MLB season, Phillies fans might have thought he couldn’t possibly travel any further away from Philadelphia, but they were wrong.

Hello old friend. And goodbye... He never wanted to leave Philadelphia in the first place, so when the Baltimore Orioles traded Freddy Galvis back to the Phillies at the deadline, it was a homecoming worthy of a Hallmark movie.
When Freddy Galvis was traded to the San Diego Padres for Enyel de los Santos following the 2017 season, fans would have been fair to assume they had seen the last of Galvis in red pinstripes.
The 2021-22 free-agent shortstop class looks to be a good one.
