    "García is due $1.6 million this season, and prorated for the last couple of months of the season it’s barely a drop in the bucket compared to other closing options like Craig Kimbrel."
    If it goes through, wonder who we ship out.

    Being a closer for the Marlins, he is used to pressure situations. So I like that.

    I think he has accumulated enough service time that if he clears waivers he can reject the minor league assignment and become a FA.

    Might not be going for a big headline starter if we are trying to stay under luxury tax

    Bryan De La Cruz was given up for Garcia.

    I'd bet they're finding the price too high for the big name. The way it sounded was that if the deal made sense they wouldn't worry too much about the LT, who knows for sure though

    Agree. Getting Garcia and Graveman and staying under luxury tax is solid. Those
    Two arms add depth. Gravemen could be as good as Kimbrel down the stretch with the career year he is having

    Unbelievable to take him fresh off the IL, having pitched 1.2 innings in two years, and put him in to lose that game against Cleveland.

    Garcia is another good “win now” acquisition. I like it. Our trash bullpen should be much improved.

    Quick and dirty calculation for trades. 1/3rd of stated salary for this year. So 1.6M equals ~$530,000.

    Ever aggressive Altuve, sometimes it's great, sometimes frustrating, but never boring.
