"MIAMI - Avisaíl García announced his retirement Monday following 13 major league seasons, including three with the Miami Marlins. García, 34, did not play again after being designated for assignment by the Marlins on June 4, 2024. The outfielder signed a $53 million, four-year deal as a free agent in December 2021, but couldn't match the production he enjoyed with Milwaukee in 2021, when he hit .262 and set career highs with 29 home runs and 86 RBIs."
"In announcing his retirement on social media, García wrote: "Thank you to God for the blessing of fulfilling my childhood dream - of playing baseball at its highest level. To my family: my eternal gratitude for your unconditional love, constant support, and sacrifices that made every step of this journey possible." García made his major league debut with Detroit in 2012."
Avisaíl García retired after 13 major league seasons, including three with the Miami Marlins. He did not play again after being designated for assignment by the Marlins on June 4, 2024, and missed the 2025 season. García signed a $53 million, four-year contract in December 2021 but could not replicate his 2021 performance with Milwaukee, when he hit .262 with 29 home runs and 86 RBIs. Multiple stints on the injured list limited his time with Miami, producing a .185 average in 37 games in 2023 and .240 in 18 games in 2024 before his release. García debuted with Detroit in 2012, was an AL All-Star in 2017, and finished his career batting .263 with 140 home runs and a .733 OPS.
