Dodgers Release Luis Garcia
Briefly

Luis Garcia has been released by the Dodgers after a brief stint following his designation for assignment. He recorded a 5.27 ERA over 27 1/3 innings this season, but his 4.25 SIERA suggested better performance affected by a .388 BABIP and high contact allowed. Garcia missed a month due to injury and struggled with control, evident in a 12.7% walk rate. He has a long career history with seven teams and may attract interest for a minor league deal. A new team would only pay the minimum salary for any major league time, with the Dodgers covering the rest.
Luis Garcia has been released by the Dodgers after being designated for assignment. He posted a 5.27 ERA over 27 1/3 innings this season.
Despite a 4.25 SIERA indicating better performance, Garcia's .388 BABIP significantly affected his results, compounded by an elevated walk rate of 12.7%.
Garcia's lengthy career includes stints with seven different teams, and although he struggled this season, he recorded quality results earlier in 2024.
Any new team signing Garcia will only owe him the MLB minimum salary for any time in the majors, as the Dodgers will cover the rest.
