Along with 25 non-roster invitees, and a few minor leaguers here and there, Yimi García is doing his best to get into game-shape for the Miami Marlins regular season.
García is a six-foot, 225. lb. right-hander from Moca in the DR, the 29-year-old reliever signed a one-year, $1.1 million contract with the Marlins on December 20th. It’s a deal sprinkled with minor incentives, namely, bonuses of $50,000 each for 40, 50, 60, and 70 games pitched.
García signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers and reported to their Dominican rookie-complex in 2009, gradually working his way up their system before making his major league debut with them in 2014.
