It's difficult to find free agent signings or trades that are unanimously applauded by baseball fans. When the Philadelphia Phillies signed Kyle Schwarber last week, there were still detractors to a contract that was (mostly) universally accepted as a good move for the Phillies.
Now the Phillies have signed Adolis García to a one-year, $10 million deal. So of course this type of signing will create a divide among the fans and media. Just a couple of seasons ago, the 32-year-old was a playoff and World Series hero for the Texas Rangers. But his bat has fallen on hard times since then.
