2021 Marlins Season Preview: Yimi García

Opening Day age: 30 | Bats: right | Throws: right | Listed at 6-2, 228 lbs.

Acquired by Marlins via free agency (December 20, 2019).

Despite a slew of minor injuries and even a Tommy John surgery, Yimi García enjoyed five successful seasons with the Dodgers. At least in two of them, he was an important piece of their bullpen, including 2019 before hitting the open market.

The Marlins signed García to a one-year deal as part of their new philosophy of going after affordable and low-profile but effective relief pitchers.
