The Pittsburgh Pirates announced that they have signed left-handed pitcher Jarlin Garcia to a one-year contract with a club option for 2024. The deal is for $2.5 million, with a club option for $3.25 million in 2024. To make room on the 40-man roster, right-handed pitcher Bryse Wilson has been designated for assignment.
This deal was agreed to three weeks ago, but Garcia has been home with his wife, who gave birth two days ago. He flew in today to complete his physical and sign the deal.
Garcia, who will turn 30 years old next month, began his big league career with the Miami Marlins, where he put in three seasons with mixed results.
