One of the most divisive topics among San Diego Padres fans is Freddy Galvis. Signed to a one-year deal to bridge the gap to Fernando Tatis Jr. a lot of fans fell in love with the slick-fielding shortstop, while others are more than happy to see him walk away when the offseason officially begins. So how should the Padres address this position?
Using Spotrac’s Market Value tool, they believe that Galvis is worth just under $12 million a year on the open market. Seems like a steep price for a shortstop who will be pushed out of the way as soon as Tatis Jr is ready for his big league roster spot, which could be sometime in 2019.
