The Chicago White Sox will need to decide if they will retain Avisail Garcia for next season when the off-season begins. Garcia will be eligible for arbitration, and he could command a salary of more than $3 million for 2017.
According to mlbtraderumors.com, Garcia’s projected arbitration for 2017 could be $3.4 million. After a season in which he played in 120 games, it could be hard for the Sox to tender Garcia a contract over $3 million. Garcia finished 2016 with a .245 batting average, 12 home runs and 51 RBI’s.
This was another poor season at the plate for Garcia as his production dipped in comparison with 2015.
