The agreement comes on the same day that Garcia and the team were slated to head to an arbitration hearing. Garcia's camp had filed for a $6.9MM salary for the upcoming season, while the team had countered at $5MM.
Garcia's 2023 campaign, however, was far and away his best overall season to date. Garcia posted a career-best 10.3% walk rate and career-low 27.7% strikeout rate while hitting .245/.328/.508 with 39 home runs - second-most in the American League and tied for seventh-most in all of MLB.
