Per Ken Rosenthal and Juan Toribio, the Tampa Bay Rays have agreed to terms with the former White Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia. Jon Heyman announced that the deal is worth 3.5M and gives Garcia the ability to make roughly 6M due to incentives.
Since they parted ways with their slugging first baseman C.J. Cron, the Rays have been in the market for right-handed pop. They missed out on Paul Goldschmidt and Nelson Cruz, but are still in the mix to land J.T. Realmuto. Prior to today’s reported signing, the Rays have added Mike Zunino’s power and Yandy Diaz’s upside to the right side of the plate.
