Reports: Marlins add RHP Garcia to bullpen
The Miami Marlins added to their bullpen Friday as the club agreed to a one-year deal with right-hander Yimi Garcia, according to multiple reports. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The 29-year old, who was non-tendered by the Los Angeles Dodgers, had a 3.61 ERA in 64 appearances in 2019, although he tied a Dodgers record for a reliever by giving up 15 home runs. He puts the ball in the strike zone, with just 30 walks over 159 2/3 career innings.
The move reunites Garcia with Marlins manager Don Mattingly, who was his skipper for 67 games over the 2014 and 2015 seasons with the Dodgers. Garcia had a combined 3.11 ERA in those campaigns.
Garcia is 5-11 lifetime with a 3.66 ERA over 165 appearances with the Dodgers. He started one game and saved one game in 2015 and missed the 2017 season after Tommy John surgery.
