LOS ANGELES -- Veteran left-hander Jaime Garcia joined the Twins on Tuesday, getting to know his new organization by throwing a bullpen session in front of the coaching staff at Dodger Stadium.
Garcia, brought in to be the club's No. 3 starter behind Ervin Santana and Jose Berrios in a trade that sent prospect Huascar Ynoa to the Braves, said he found out about the trade being completed on Monday when Braves general manager John Coppolella called him. He'll make his first start on Friday in Oakland.
"I was thrilled about it," Garcia said.
