Marlins Cut Ties with Struggling Outfielder Avisaíl García

Miami designates García for assignment, absorbing nearly $24 million in remaining contract obligations.

  • García's tenure with the Marlins was marred by injuries and underperformance, with a .217 batting average across three seasons.
  • The outfielder, once an All-Star, struggled with conditioning and consistency, leading to multiple stints on the injured list.
  • Miami hoped García would bolster their offense but saw minimal returns on their four-year, $53 million investment.
  • García's release is part of broader roster changes as the Marlins hold the worst record in the National League.
  • Despite the move, García may still attract minor interest as a waiver option from other teams.
