Galvis is expected to sign with the NPB's Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, Yahoo Japan reports. While Galvis has never been confused for a star, he's better than most players who head overseas. The 32-year-old has spent most of his career as a low-end regular and looked like he was still capable of that in 2021, as his .242/.302/.407 slash line was good for a career-best 90 wRC+, a perfectly adequate number for a shortstop. Given the uncertainty that comes with MLB's lockout, however, it's likely he saw a guaranteed deal in Japan as far more appealing than waiting out the labor strife stateside, especially as he wasn't necessarily guaranteed a big-league deal once the situation is eventually resolved.

Galvis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-4 loss to the Marlins on Sunday. Galvis took Miami starter Pablo Lopez deep in the second inning to get Philadelphia on the board but failed to contribute in his other at-bats. The 31-year-old concludes the season with a .242/.302/.407 slash line, 14 home runs, 53 runs and 40 RBI in 104 games between Philadelphia and Baltimore.

Galvis will sit Saturday against the Pirates. Galvis has emerged as the Phillies' primary third baseman, moving ahead of Ronald Torreyes. He'll hit the bench Saturday after going hitless in two straight games. Torreyes will be rewarded with a start after hitting a pinch-hit homer in Friday's victory.
