Freddy Galvis will wear a new number with the Phillies in honor of Juan Samuel.

The Philadelphia Phillies reunited with shortstop Freddy Galvis on Friday, acquiring him from the Baltimore Orioles at the trade deadline.

Galvis started his career with the Phillies when their scouts discovered and signed him as a 16-year-old kid.
