The Atlanta Braves traded left-hander Jaime Garcia to the Minnesota Twins on Monday for right-handed pitching prospect Huascar Ynoa.
The Braves also sent catcher Anthony Recker and cash considerations to the Twins as part of the trade.
As part of the deal, the Braves agreed to pay the remaining $4.6 million on Garcia's contract, ESPN's Jerry Crasnick confirmed. The Braves also agreed to pick up $200,000 of the remaining $300,000 owed to Recker, according to Fox Sports.
In his last start for the Braves, Garcia gave up three runs and seven hits over seven innings as Atlanta rolled to a 12-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday.
