Adolis Garca finalizes $10M, 1-year contract with Phillies, expected to play
right field
PHILADELPHIA (AP) --- Outfielder Adolis Garca and the Philadelphia Phillies
finalized a $10 million, one-year contract on Tuesday.
The 32-year-old is expected to start in right field for the Phillies in place
of Nick Castellanos, who has held the spot for four seasons.
Garcia had career bests in home runs (39), RBIs (107), OPS (.836), OPS+ (127),
runs (108) and walks (65) in 2023 when he helped lead Texas to its first World
Series title.
He was selected the ALCS MVP after hitting five homers with 15 RBIs and a 1.293
OPS against Houston, including two home runs and five RBIs in the Rangers' Game
7 win.
Garca this year batted .227 with 19 homers and 75 RBIs. He had a .675 OPS over
the past two seasons to rank 117th among 123 qualified hitters.
Castellanos has one season remaining in a $100 million, five-year contract.
