Matt Harvey was a classic sign-and-flip transaction over the winter. Meanwhile, a slump can just be a slump, like in the good ol’ days. If it gets inside the heads of teams scouting him, that can impact his market. There’s also speculation that the two issues are related. Fry allowed four runs and five hits with 16 strikeouts in 10 innings the following month.Īn unfortunate byproduct of MLB’s crackdown on sticky substances is how a slumping pitcher is going to find himself in more than jams. Hyde began to consider Fry as a closer after the lefty surrendered only one run and six hits and struck out 15 batters in 10 innings in April and César Valdez began to struggle. He’s allowed 11 hits and walked six batters - two fewer than his combined total in April and May. Fry was charged with three more runs Monday night to raise his total to seven in 9 1/3 innings. A left-handed high-leverage reliever with an increase in velocity and strikeouts and splits that make him formidable against right-handers. Paul Fry’s trade value has never been higher than through the first two months of the season. His minus-1.2 WAR per was the worst of his career.
He was 4-for-31 in his last nine games before going 3-for-5 with a three-run double. Signed for a year and a flip or flop.įranco sat out Monday’s win and began last night. Maikel Franco fit the same chip profile as Galvis. Or he could do more of what we saw last night, homering and collecting two hits for the first time since June 8. What would be the return for a player with a significant drop in numbers who’s slowed in the field and on the bases, the ankle bringing noticeable restrictions? Maybe resting over the break would help. There’s been significant interest in outfielder Anthony Santander going back to the offseason and a partner could materialize, but the Orioles wouldn’t be selling high with last year’s Most Valuable Oriole hindered by the lingering effects of a sprained left ankle and entering last night’s game batting. A typical veteran signing for one year with the chance to flip him later, as non-contenders are wont to do. Galvis was deemed a trade candidate as soon as the ink dried on his contract. And if we’ve learned anything here, it’s to always take the over. Manager Brandon Hyde described it as a “Grade 1-plus” and projected a one- to two-month absence. The Orioles have taken some hits, their pile reduced, but there’s still the potential for some movement.įreddy Galvis isn’t going anywhere after straining his right quadriceps muscle Saturday afternoon in Buffalo. They also move the sport closer to the trade deadline and stacking of chips. The draft and All-Star break are approaching in Major League Baseball, running together like colors in the wash.
