"García opened the season with the Mets, signing a one-year, $1.75MM contract but was released after six appearances, allowing six runs and posting a 7.11 ERA."
"Despite a solid performance last year with a 3.42 ERA, García's early struggles with the Mets raised red flags, particularly a drop in sinker velocity from 96.9 mph to 94 mph."
"The Twins are looking to enhance their bullpen after a trade deadline sell-off that dismantled a strong relief corps, making minimal offseason additions to address the issue."
Luis García, a 39-year-old reliever, signed a minor league contract with the Twins and will report to their Triple-A team. Previously with the Mets, he struggled early in the season, posting a 7.11 ERA in six appearances. Despite a solid 3.42 ERA last year, his velocity dropped significantly, raising concerns. The Twins, needing bullpen support after trading away key players, have made minimal offseason additions, relying on García's experience to strengthen their relief options.
