Rays Closing In On Avisail Garcia
6 years agoThe Tampa Bay Rays are closing in on free-agent outfielder Avisail Garcia, according to sources. Garcia played in just 93 games due to injury in 2018 in his final year with the White Sox and hit a disappointing .236/.281/.438 with 19 home runs and 49 RBI. If he signs with Tampa, he should see consistent playing time and has a chance to bounce back if healthy. Garcia will turn 28 this June and was a first-time All-Star in 2017 when he hit .330/.380/.506 with 18 long balls and 80 RBI. Consider him a sleeper pick as a bounce-back candidate in the later rounds in deep mixed leagues.
