The St. Louis Cardinals sold Adolis Garcia to the Texas Rangers this past weekend to make room for newly-signed KBO pitcher Kwang-Hyun Kim. Although a shooting war is not likely to break out in Cardinal Nation over the head of Adolis Garcia to rival the one over the head of Alfredo Garcia, this deal means that fans will have one less outfielder to watch “shoot it out” in Spring Training for a job.
For as President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak has promised, 2020 is all about “creating opportunities” for outfielders to emerge.
