ALCS MVP Adolis García avoids arbitration with Rangers

Adolis García and the Texas Rangers agreed Thursday to a $14 million, two-year contract, according to multiple reports.

The deal avoids a salary arbitration hearing for the AL Championship Series MVP and the World Series champions.

The deal through 2025 is pending a physical.

García was the only Rangers player eligible for salary arbitration who didn't reach a deal before last month's deadline. An arbitration hearing was scheduled Thursday before the agreement was reached.

The two-time All-Star slugger, who set an MLB postseason record with 22 RBI last fall, had requested $6.9 million and Texas offered $5 million.
