Astros, Luis Garcia Avoid Arbitration
Briefly

Luis Garcia's salary for 2025 remains at $1.875MM, the same as 2024, illustrating how arbitration salaries generally don't decrease, even after a player's absence.
With Garcia's avoidance of arbitration, the Astros now face a class of arb-eligible players, including key pitchers and position players, ahead of looming deadlines.
Garcia's career ERA stands at 3.61 over 352 innings. Despite hopes for recovery, doubts linger about his readiness for Opening Day in 2025.
The Astros' history of managing player health information complicates predicting Garcia's return, though his role is expected to be significant when he is fit.
