Former Boston Red Sox prospect Jhostynxon Garcia expressed excitement about his trade to the Pittsburgh Pirates. After becoming expendable due to a crowded outfield in Boston, Garcia is eager to compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster.
"Really grateful to be here," Garcia said via a translator. Despite a slow start to his MLB career with five strikeouts in seven at-bats, the 23-year-old believes he has the tools to succeed in Pittsburgh.
