“Before we start talking about this,” Nationals’ manager Davey Martinez told reporters when he discussed the club’s decision to option 23-year-old infielder Luis García to Triple-A early this past August, “I still strongly believe that Luis is a big part of our future, I really do.”
García was optioned following a rough stretch for the 23-year-old infielder, who was 0 for 12 in his previous four games, coming off of a .217/.250/.301 month of July in which he’d hit just two doubles and one home run.
“There’s some consistency stuff that we want him to work on,” Martinez explained.
