The Chicago White Sox sign Freddy Garcia
The White Sox have signed 32-year old righty starting pitcher Freddy Garcia to a minor league deal. Garcia came to spring training with the Mets this season but he didn’t make the final roster. He pitched in 3 games (all starts) with the Tigers last season and he was 1-1 with a 4.20 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP. Garcia has now pitched in 266 games (265 starts) in his major league career and he is 118-77 with a 4.07 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP. Garcia hasn’t been the same since undergoing shoulder surgery a couple of years ago but the White Sox don’t have much to lose in giving him a chance to revive his career.
