Rays fans got their first look this past Monday at new Rays reliever Edgar Garcia, a 23 year old who the struggling Phillies DFA’d for no reason in particular.
Garcia has options, and the Phillies could have sent him to their alternate site to work things out. But instead they gave up on him. Fast forward a couple hours, and with the Rays bullpen under the duress of injury, Garcia earned his first career save on Tuesday night, pitching in back to back nights.
What were the Phillies thinking?
Garcia has good stuff, in one of the molds the Rays seem to prefer.
