Galvis, 27, hit .241 last season with 26 doubles, three triples, 20 home runs, and 67 RBIs in 624 plate appearances. He added 17 stolen bases. Defensively, Galvis ranked third among all big league shortstops in DEF (Defensive Runs Above Average), per FanGraphs.

The Phillies' top prospect, shortstop J.P. Crawford, will likely open the season in Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Crawford was invited to the Phillies' Spring Training.
