A David Fry all-star campaign certainly wasn’t on my bingo card for the Guardians’ 2024 season.
So far this season, the player I once thought was a platoon bat at best, David Fry, has made a resounding case to be the league’s suprise player. Fry was the player to be named later in the trade that sent then-Indians starting pitcher/reliever J.C. Mejia to the Milwaukee Brewers in November of 2021. Mejia was notoriously bad, sporting an 8.5 ERA in 52.1 IP. The way I see it, getting a player at all for Mejia would be a steal alone.
