EDGAR GARCIA GOES TO TAMPA BAY
The Tampa Bay Rays acquired pitcher Edgar Garcia from the Philadelphia Phillies for a player to be named later.
What does it give the Tampa Bay Rays
The Rays are hoping that a change of scenery can help the 23-year-old Garcia, who owns a good arm but a severe lack of refinement. For now, he will report to Tampa Bay's alternate training site.
What does it give the Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies had designated Garcia for assignment recently, but were always expected to receive a future asset in return for his services. Did Philadelphia give up on Garcia a little too quickly?
Fantasy impact
While he is an intriguing right-hander, Garcia is merely a player to keep an eye on for the time being. He has some work to do in order to become a worthy fantasy option.
