Texas Rangers they announced this Wednesday that they have he called the young gardener Adolis García for the mission. His place in the list of 40 people belongs to the right Mike Foltynewicz, whose previously reported contract for one year is official. Garcia, 27, went 6-0 with a walk and four hits in seven appearances in Texas in 2020.
That marked his first and now perhaps his only season with the organization. The Rangers originally purchased it from Cardinals St. Louis in cash in December 2019.
Garcia has only 24 major league appearances on his name and hasn’t done much with them. He was a batter in the Cuban national series before failing and eventually landing with the Cardinals, for which he spent considerable time at Triple-A.
Garcia’s free swing forms have led to negligible OBPs, but his strength is obvious. In 1,110 Memphis Triple-A appearances, he hit .260 / .299 / .505 with 57 home runs, 58 doubles and a dozen triples. He has a total of 69 runs in three years in branches.
Garcia, at 1.85 meters and 92 kilograms, has a certain speed, as evidenced by those 3 and 26 stolen bases. However, it is not particularly effective on basic routes either; He was captured 14 times.
Texas will have a week to change it, release it or try to go through absolute waivers. Garcia, 27, still has a minor league option, so it is possible for a club that needs the field to use its right-wing power, despite its lack of discipline.
Despite his age, he is still considered a major league debutant due to his few fights.
