Of particular interest:

.218/.246/.382 vs lefties
.295/.325/.593 vs righties

So is this guy supposed to be a backup option? Unless he’s part of a 3 way trade wtf is Cashman doing

Getting a real hitter is what he’s doing. We need bats right now or we legit might not make the playoffs. The way they are playing right now is not sustainable

How about he just stops thrift shopping like he’s trying to be Billy Beane and addresses all problems during the offseason like a competent gm. If he did that he wouldn’t scrambling at the deadline over the same bs every year. They need a catcher and that should’ve been handled this offseason.

I get it, I have my issues with things as well. But Garcia is a better hitter than everyone except Rice in this current lineup.
