Freddy Garcia Injures Shoulder
Cubs f/x reports Freddy Garcia has injured his throwing shoulder during a game in the Venezuelan Winter League. The post cites a pair of sources, including an official team website and an article at Venezuelan newspaper El Universal.
The extent of the injury is presently unknown, but regardless, it certainly won't help convince teams to sign Garcia to any sort of substantial contract this offseason.
Fewer starting pitching options may push contract values up, but few teams were likely pinning their hopes for a World Series on a healthy and effective Freddy Garcia.

Oooooh, that's got to hurt. Another off-season, another injury.

This is really unfortunate for Freddy. I think he really had a shot i becoming an effective starting pitcher again. Hopefully its minor and he can still pitch this season,if not, i think is career is done.

I was at the makeup game at the end of the season when the White Sox beat the Tigers Sweaty Freddy pitched that game and I remember him leaving in the 5th or 6th inning with a bum arm. Never heard anything of it, but it sure seems to be a recurring injury. It appears to be the end of the line for him.

I really think his career is done. He had a solid career, but I don't think he gets it back.

Some bargain he would be especially today(Black Friday)Any team willing to take a chance on him would definetely receive the comments "nice move, low risk high reward" but the money should be used elsewhere if thats the case...
His career is probably over though.
