The Philadelphia Phillies have added some pop to their outfield, agreeing to a one-year, $10-million contract with two-time All-Star Adolis García, sources told journalist Francys Romero.
García became a free agent in November when he was non-tendered by the Texas Rangers.
The 32-year-old is coming off a second straight down year at the plate in Texas. García slashed a career-low .227/.271/.394 with 19 homers, 75 RBIs, and 13 steals over 135 games. He did continue to excel defensively, where his 16 defensive runs saved were the most among qualified right fielders. García's powerful throwing arm also ranked in the 92nd percentile of arm strength.
