    Remember when he pitched the last five innings of the 18-inning 1-0 win over the Mariners in the 2022 ALDS?

    Framber Valdez (FA, Gone) Astros receive a Draft Pick, Cristian Javier (Should be traded, declining), Luis Garcia (Gone), Jose Urquidy (Gone), Lance McCullers (should be traded, declined),

    Injury List
    JP France, Ronel Blanco, Spencer Arrighetti

    Just so much incompetence in the Medical Doctors and Training Staff not keeping the Pitchers healthy except for Framber Valdez.

    It was too little too late, but glad they came to their senses and fired them.

    Thank you for the memories Luis…. What a great pitcher he was for the Astros, but losing another year and taking up a roster spot isn’t feasible for any team.

    Best of luck Luis Garcia.
