November 28, 20214 yr So close. Good job posting first, @SonOfJack. As for my reaction to the move, it is underwhelming. Garcia has been an up and down player for years. I hope that the FO doesn't think that this is an inspiring move for the fanbase... Edited November 28, 20214 yr by FishFan95
November 28, 20214 yr Man, could have almost fucking called this one. I cannot see anyway this deal ends up being good. Garcia cashed in on a good year in a fantastic hitting park. Cannot wait to see the numbers on this one.
November 28, 20214 yr Can't wait for him to come here and fall on his face and do absolutely nothing for 4 years.
November 28, 20214 yr Author Yep they went into the discount bin as most of us expected they would. So much for those Castellanos rumors.
November 28, 20214 yr FWIW, Mish is still claiming the first of "many" big moves for the fish. Remains to be seen.
November 28, 20214 yr Author So basically right now for the most part look at last year's starting lineup and replace Marte with Garcia. Not very inspiring. Better be a lot more to come.

November 28, 20214 yr Also someone should ask Mish if the saving of 17-20 million over 4 years was worth them getting a far lesser player and not filling a position of need as well. Cheapness as per usual. You cannot tell me they valued Garcia at the same level as Marte.
November 28, 20214 yr I'm ok with it for now, if it is indeed the "first of many moves" as Mish suggests. If this is the marquee addition then I'll watch the Rays in 2022.
