A member of the Cardinals' organization for the first decade of his career, Garcia spent time with five different clubs over the past two seasons. After pitching for the Braves, Twins and Yankees in 2017, Garcia began last season in the Blue Jays' starting rotation. He mostly struggled around a pair of shoulder-related DL stints before eventually moving to the bullpen. The results improved in relief, but not enough for Toronto to want to keep him around. The Cubs eventually brought Garcia aboard to fill a spot on their expanded September roster. The lefty is still only 32 years old and still seemed to have something of a strikeout punch (19.8% last season), but he ultimately decided to call it a career. His control had been trending in the wrong direction for a long time (from 5.9 BB% in 2015 to a career-worst 11.9 BB% last season) and home runs were a fairly big issue in 2018 (1.43 HR/9).
