The Cincinnati Reds have signed right-handed pitcher Édgar García to a 1-year contract for the 2021 season. Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer was the first to report the deal and notes that if he makes the big league roster he’ll get $600,000. The signing puts the Reds 40-man roster at 34 players after accounting for the addition of both Édgar García and catcher Deivy Grullón, who the team picked up on waivers from the Boston Red Sox earlier this afternoon.
The reason that Édgar García was available in free agency is because the Tampa Bay Rays non-tendered him earlier this month.
