The good
The early December acquisition of lefty reliever Jose Alvarez for longtime bullpen arm/sometime-barber Luis Garcia might have been Matt Klentak’s lowest-profile move of the last offseason. It also might have been his clearest win.
With the Angels, Garcia was what he’d been for the bulk of his Phillies tenure: a guy who threw hard without much idea of where it was going, usable for short stretches in low-leverage situations.
