Garica a Met
It looks like Freddy Garcia signed a contract with the Mets.
Reports indicate the Mets have come to terms with Freddy Garcia on an incentive-laden deal that could net him as much as $9 million. Garcia, of course, was once a middle-of-the rotation anchor, but he has made just 14 starts the last two seasons because of a torn labrum.
Gacia showed very good control over his career. He's worth a one-year risk.
I hope the Mets still plan on pursuing Oliver Perez. The combo of Redding and Garcia is not the answer....
As a Phillies fan, I love this signing.
This signing is RIDICULOUS!! Waste of $ as is the Mackowiack signing-all these $$ add up-Penny wise and Pound foolish-Garcia wont throw 30 innings this year-
