Dodgers Non-Tender Yimi Garcia

By Connor Byrne | December 2, 2019 at 10:23pm CDT

The Dodgers have non-tendered right-handed reliever Yimi Garcia, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports. Garcia had been projected to earn $1.1MM in 2020, his second-last season of arbitration eligibility.

In terms of bottom-line results, 2019 was a strong year for Garcia – which is more than you can say for several other Dodgers relievers. The 29-year-old, a past Tommy John surgery patient, logged a 3.61 ERA with 9.53 K/9 and 2.02 BB/9 over 62 1/3 innings, though those numbers came with a minuscule 29.6 percent groundball rate and a 5.19 FIP/4.90 xFIP.

While Garcia’s 2019 output didn’t impress the Dodgers enough to keep him, it was his best full-season showing since 2015. He’ll now head into free agency as a potentially intriguing option for other clubs.

      I mean in all honesty if they were in fear that Sheff was going to be picked and stick they would have easily rostered him. García didn’t change that, neither did the other out of options guys that will be cut/traded during ST. Speaks more to how they feel about Sheff.

      Honestly I don’t understand why everyone wants Roberts’ head so badly. As a lifelong dodgers/baseball fan I’ve watched long enough to know that every manager has to make some tough calls and sometimes they don’t work out. Just be glad we have a team that is winning consistently and doesn’t appear to be changing course any time soon. This is a lot better than loosing and not being anywhere close to a title my friend.

          Yeah, everybody except those of us who know who hired him and gave him a nice big extension.

        If you ain’t first, you’re last. Win a WS title and people will love him.

    Finally an adios to Yimi Garcia.! Unfortunately, the Dodgers brought back Scott Alexander to be the designated Chris Hatcher/Yimi Garcia bullpen choker for 2020.

        Lame statement bro! Fields was good in LA. He just doesn’t pitch well against Houston’s mvp! (Their cameraman in cf)

    I wonder if Fraudman will go dumpster diving for another TJ survivor to replace Garcia?

    I’m kind of surprised that there wasn’t a trade market for him… I realize his underlying stats might not have supported his overall ERA but he struck out better than a batter per inning, had a 3.61 ERA and is only 29 years old — idk but to me that sounds like he’s worth the mere $1.1M he was expected to earn in arbitration – if not for the Dodgers you’d think they could get something back for him in trade.

      I think we have lost perspective: “the mere 1.1M he was expected to earn in arbitration?”

      I just didn’t see anything in Garcia that isn’t replaceable. That, and his sliders would either break right into the middle of the plate or start there and not break.

      I think the roster spot is better served on a new project. Yimi Garcia had ample opportunity to put it together, and couldn’t.

    So if they go back to normal baseballs he might be alright?

      Naw, too many cement mixer sliders from Garcia. I don’t think the ball was his issue, poor location or lack of movement was the issue.
