David Fry was promoted to the Guardians to mash lefties and chew bubble gum — and he’s all out of bubble gum.
In a continued effort to find some utility in the final position player spot on their 26-man roster, the Guardians yesterday designated Meibrys Viloria for David Fry, a right-handed hitting, 27-year-old first baseman/third baseman/emergency catcher.
The Guardians acquired Fry on March 13, 2022, as part of the return for sending the Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitcher J.C. Meija. Fry was most recently ranked 37th in the Brewers’ system by FanGraphs in 2021 and 44th in the Guardians’ system in 2022.
