"The news comes just a few months after the Marlins decided to release the veteran outfielder partway through the third season of his four-year, $53MM deal with the club. It became clear almost immediately that the deal was a mistake on the part of the Marlins as Garcia's first season in Miami saw him hit a paltry .224/.266/.317 (61 wRC+) in 380 trips to the plate."
"With that being said, news of Garcia's surgery provides an interesting bit of context to his deep struggles with the Marlins-particularly given the fact that he missed three months due to a back injury in 2023. Given the amount of time Garcia spent on the IL during his tenure in Miami, it's not hard to imagine his back and hamstring issues played a large role in his sudden decline."
