Deivi Garcia faces reality of being stud Yankees prospect

CLEVELAND — It comes with the territory of being a Yankees prospect, and as far as Deivi Garcia is concerned, he’ll pitch in whatever territory will have him.

The 20-year-old Dominican right-hander Garcia has enjoyed a breakout 2019, and it took another step on Sunday when he learned he would start the Futures Game for the American League at Progressive Field.

And if he learns another piece of compelling information by the July 31 trade deadline? He’ll roll with it.

“I really don’t think about that that much,” Garcia said, through an interpreter, when asked about the possibility of being dealt by the Yankees for a current major leaguer.
