No matter what happens for the remainder of his MLB career, Adolis Garcia has cemented himself as a legend with the Texas Rangers. The hard-hitting outfielder played a key role in helping the Rangers win their first World Series title in 2023 and set a new MLB record for the most RBIs in a single postseason (22).
That being said, the Rangers underperformed greatly in 2024, not only failing to defend their World Series title but also missing the playoffs altogether. Like the team, Garcia struggled to rediscover his amazing postseason form in 2024, posting a disappointing .224 batting average with 25 home runs and 85 RBIs.
Even though the counting numbers were still solid, the Rangers are deep in the outfield and could look to move on from the veteran slugger and his $9,250,000 contract ahead of the new season. If Garcia is available on the trade market, he could draw plenty of interest from teams looking to bolster their outfield.
Here's a closer look at 3 potential landing spots for Adolis Garcia if he is made available by the Rangers
#1 - Detroit Tigers
The Detroit Tigers might be the team that needs a player like Adolis Garcia. After reaching the postseason in 2024, it was clear that the team lacked firepower at the plate, something that Garcia can bring in abundance. While his batting average will always need something to be desired, the outfielder's ability to clobber home runs could be an x-factor for the Tigers in 2025.
#2 - Boston Red Sox
Another club that could use a hard-hitting outfielder like Adolis Garcia is the Boston Red Sox. After losing Tyler O'Neill to the Baltimore Orioles, the Red Sox could slot Garcia into that same spot in the lineup.
Boston has been busy upgrading its roster this offseason by acquiring the likes of Walker Buehler and Garrett Crochet. Garcia could be the powerful bat the Red Sox desperately need to add this winter.
#3 - Toronto Blue Jays
It has not been the offseason that Toronto Blue Jays fans have hoped for. After missing out on nearly every free agent they had shown interest in, the Blue Jays could look to the trade market to help improve their offense. It remains to be seen what the cost would be for Toronto to acquire Garcia. However, his home run upside could help bolster the lineup around Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette.
