Twins finalizing deal with Braves to acquire Jaime Garcia
The Minnesota Twins are finalizing a deal to acquire starting pitcher Jaime Garcia from the Atlanta Braves, says Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
The deal was first reported on Thursday by FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, and it's expected to be a one-for-one exchange with the Braves getting a minor league prospect from Minnesota. Garcia's contract runs out at the end of the season, so the Twins would be bringing him in as a rental to boost their rotation. The 31-year-old left-hander owns a 4.33 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 18.2 strikeout percentage in 106 innings this year. He's 3-7 through 17 starts.
numberFire's models project Garcia to turn in a 3.99 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 16.9 strikeout percentage in 76 2/3 innings over the rest of the season.
